It\u2019s no secret that the Detroit Lions want to keep their playmakers in Honolulu Blue for the long haul \u2014 and Kerby Joseph is near the top of that list.<\/p>\n

Joseph is in Detroit to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Comerica Park before the Tigers face the Padres. But it isn\u2019t just his throwing arm drawing attention \u2014 it was what he said about his contract.<\/p>\n

\"Kerby<\/figure>\n

Joseph: \u201cIt\u2019s in progress\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Speaking to Fox 2\u2019s Jennifer Hammond before taking the mound, the first-team All-Pro safety gave fans a little behind-the-scenes peek into where things stand.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s in progress, we\u2019re getting things going,\u201d Joseph said.
\n\u201cI love Detroit, Detroit loves me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was a short, sweet update \u2014 but it\u2019s consistent with everything we\u2019ve heard from inside the building.<\/p>\n

Brad Holmes has made his priorities clear<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

Just a day earlier, team president Rod Wood made it known that Joseph \u2014 along with Aidan Hutchinson \u2014 is firmly in Detroit\u2019s long-term plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got Kerby Joseph who\u2019s also due for an extension,\u201d Wood said Monday at a Detroit Economic Club event.
\n\u201cThat\u2019s going to be the challenge \u2014 we built this great foundation of players\u2026 and now they\u2019re all becoming second-contract players.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

General manager Brad Holmes echoed that sentiment earlier this offseason, emphasizing Detroit\u2019s commitment to rewarding its homegrown talent. With extensions already completed for Penei Sewell, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Alim McNeill, Joseph and Hutchinson appear to be next in line.<\/p>\n

Joseph had a breakout 2024 season<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Joseph was one of the NFL\u2019s most electric defensive backs in 2024. He led the league in interceptions and earned first-team All-Pro honors, helping Detroit post a franchise-best 15-2 record.<\/p>\n

In addition to his on-field production, Joseph has become a tone-setter for the secondary \u2014 playing with swagger, energy, and a love for the city that clearly goes both ways.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
