Lions on the Verge of Approaching a Possible $50 Million Deal with Quarterback Jared Goff: Insider
Quarterback Jared Goff expressed his enthusiasm this week, stating that his trade to the Detroit Lions marked a pivotal moment in his career. This move may soon elevate him to one of the highest-paid players in the league as well.
According to insider Jeremy Fowler’s report on April 14, the Lions are in discussions for a contract extension that could see Goff earning up to $50 million annually. While negotiations are ongoing, Goff, who is entering the final year of his current contract, is likely to stay with the Lions in the near future, contributing to the team’s transformation into a Super Bowl contender.
During an appearance on SportsCenter, Fowler emphasized the mutual interest between Goff and the Lions for a new deal, potentially placing him among the NFL’s top-paid quarterbacks.
With the league’s increasing emphasis on securing competent quarterbacks due to a limited pool of talent, the market for top signal-callers continues to expand. This trend is reflected in the escalating value of quarterback contracts, with some analysts suggesting that $50 million per year could soon become the standard for elite quarterbacks.
Analysts project a similar range for Goff’s next contract, with predictions ranging from a four-year deal worth $180 million to substantial guarantees nearing $150 million.
