After a stellar year for quarterback Jared Goff, the Lions are primed for a successful future.
But if the talented QB wants to continue his rise, he will need a talented right tackle to keep him upright.

The franchise has that person in Penei Sewell, who is the league’s second-highest-paid protector of the quarterback with his $28 million salary. Sewell signed a four-year, $112 million contract extension to remain with the Lions through 2029.

Sewell moved to second on the list of the highest-paid NFL offensive tackles after Buccaneers OT Tristan Wirfs signed his five-year, $140.63 million contract extension in August of 2024.

The deal made him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history.

Coming in third is three-time All-Pro Trent Williams, earning $27.5 million. The veteran 49ers was one of a few San Fransisco holdouts during the offseason before signing a three-year, $82.66 million extension through 2026.

Vikings tackle Christian Darrisaw is fourth and earns $26 million in AAV. The 2021 first-round pick signed a four-year, $104 million deal with Minnesota in July.

Taking the fifth position is Texans’ left tackle Laremy Tunsil at $25 million. Tunsil signed a three-year, $75 million contract extension with the Texans last offseason.

Only six of the top fifteen highest-paid offensive tackles play in the AFC.
