India, Oct. 29 -- Detroit Lions star Aidan Hutchinson has landed a massive paycheck. The 25-year-old defensive end has agreed to a four-year, $180 million contract extension, as per ESPN's Adam Schefter. This comes as a huge milestone for Hutchinson as the deal ranks right among the biggest in the league, which was expected given how dominant he's been when healthy.

Hutchinson missed most of last season after suffering a really bad injury, a broken tibia and fibula, during a Week 6 game against the Dallas Cowboys. His leg collided awkwardly with teammate Alim McNeill, and he had to be carted off.
