Detroit Lions fans were chanting Jared Goff’s name during the 2024 NFL Draft, as they knew he was the next player who needs a contract extension this offseason. Well, that extension was reportedly agreed upon Monday, according to multiple reports. The Lions are signing Goff to a $212 million extension over the next four seasons, with $170 million of it guaranteed in a massive deal that keeps him as their franchise quarterback.Goff is now the highest-paid player in Lions history, a mark he earned after helping lead the squad to a historic season that ended with an NFC title game appearance. Goff will be making $53 million per season on this new extension, which makes him the second highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, only behind Cincinnati Bengals signal caller Joe Burrow, who makes $55 million.He also joins his top receiver, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and his right tackle, Penei Sewell, who both received long-term extensions this offseason. Detroit’s front office and head coach Dan Campbell have worked synonymously to get the right players in the building to keep trending in a positive direction. Goff’s tenure in Detroit began with a 3-10-1 record, but after reloading with more pieces, he had the best season of his Lions career.Now, with no other contract questions heading into training camp, Goff and the Lions can focus on defending their division title in what’s expected to be a tough NFC North next season.
