DETROIT -- On the eve of Detroit hosting its first NFL draft, the Lions locked down one of the top receivers and offensive linemen in the NFL with a pair of record-breaking deals.

On Wednesday morning, a source confirmed to ESPN that wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown had agreed to a four-year, $120 million extension which included the most guaranteed money for a receiver in NFL history ($77 million). Hours later, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter the Lions were signing All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell to the largest contract ever given to an offensive lineman -- a four-year, $112 million deal that includes $85 million guaranteed.
