After the announcement of his new deal with the Detroit Lions on Monday night, Matthew Stafford’s wife Kelly posted a video of the couple’s twin daughters reacting to the news.

The five-year, $135 million extension, according to the NFL Network' Ian Rapoport, makes Stafford the highest-paid player in NFL history.

“When daddy and mommy whispered to us we would be spending 6 more years in Detroit... hope y'all are as excited as we are!” Kelly wrote alongside her Instagram video of infant daughters Chandler and Sawyer.
