Amon-Ra St. Brown 2024 Net Worth: Salary, Contract, and All You Need to Know About WR’s NFL Deal

There’s only one German American blue haired prodigy that’s taking over the NFL so quickly. Motor City’s very own, Amon-Ra St. Brow. Named after the Sun God, he really did help in ending the Detroit Lions’ 3-decade playoff drought and got handsomely rewarded for it. He will continue to shine in the Motor City after a 4-year, $120 million deal. That’s all in extra money, too.

He’s in the elite club now and it took him three years to get here. Who knew a 4 round pick would be one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the league? This seems like an occasion as good as any to dissect his contract details. He’s in the last year of his rookie deal and once he gets past that, he’s guaranteed to be rich beyond his dreams.

Amon-Ra’s contract has the highest guarantees throughout the league at $77 million. He’s in the last year of his rookie deal and will be making $1.3 million in base salary and $3.49 million in signing bonus this year. His actual extension will kick in from next year and run through the 2028 season, with a special surprise at the end. Also, the Sun God makes just about $30 million in average salary, which technically puts him above a lot of his peers.

Let’s look at this table and quickly jot down some numbers. Spotrac does an amazing job at those.

The pattern is pretty evident here. His contract value keeps going up as time progresses, but his bonuses are the same year after year. Another perk of this deal is that it gives him $34.66 million, guaranteed at signing. He has an average salary of slightly about $30 million, as mentioned earlier. $30,002,500, to be precise.

By the way, did you know that he was fined $43.7k for a blindside block against Chicago?

Enough cramming because numbers don’t tell the story, right? We hate doing math anyway. So, here’s the recap of Amon-Ra’s last three years with the Detroit Lions and what he’s achieved for them. You might understand why they want to keep him around for longer.

Amon-Ra St. Brown’s prolific NFL journey

He didn’t set foot off the gas since his last season at USC. But he stepped in hot when he came to the league. He started with a humble 4-year, $4.26 million deal and quickly gained Detroit’s confidence. Some of his performances might get to Dan Campbell, who joined the Lions in the same year as Amon-Ra. He shocked everyone as a rookie when he put up 912 yards and 5 touchdowns in his first season.

He didn’t feel like slowing down and in the next three years; he had two Pro Bowl nods and 2023 first-team All-Pro honors. He caused mayhem in the league last year with his 1.515 yards and 10 touchdowns over 119 catches. Not only was this his career high, but it was also the third best in yards and catches in the league behind the likes of CeeDee Lamb and Tyreek Hill.

It’s exciting, isn’t it? But wait till you hear this. Amon-Ra not only ended Lions 3-decade playoff drought but also won the club’s first divisional title since 1993. But since we’re breaking down stats, here’s some more. Brown finished his last season ranked third in getting first downs (75) and tied for third in catches per game (7.4).

Of course, Jared Goff has a lot of hand in his progress, but he’s making an impact in the league at such a young age. His father, who has been a Mr. World and a bodybuilder, has been training him ever since he was 5 years old. Guess all the hard work is paying off now. The Sun God shall prevail in the Motor City. The Lions are the only franchise that has not appeared in a Super Bowl ever. The Lions looked promising last year too. Can Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Dan Campbell and the others change that?
