Lions give Goff a bajillion dollars.

Damn, that's a lot of money for a mediocre QB... Have a feeling Detroit will have some buyers remorse before the end of that contract.

Vikings window starts next year. This is a big year for Detroit. Jordan Love is going to get paid as well soon. The NFCN could be a premier QB division in 2025 and beyond.

Man, I just dont see Goff at that Burrow/Mahomes/Allen level..

Tick below - but you can win with him no doubt.

Or Herbert level either.

With this extension plus the Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sewell deals, Detroit has a 2-year window before their cap explodes.

Can't say Goff doesn't deserve it production-wise.

No, he's not quite on that level, but I think contracts are more about timing than talent. Is Goff above the win/can't win threshold? Definitely. So you have to pay him market or you lose him. I don't think there was ever any question they would give him the bag.  

Does seem like they could've slotted him in somewhere in the top 5 or 6 (instead of 2nd) and still gotten a deal done though. But I think this might be the 1st QB contract signed under the expanded cap. Without the additional cap, this deal might actually rank where it belongs.

Detroit added some nice pieces in the draft and they damn near won on the road @ SF in the playoffs....Their org has done a nice job with that franchise.

Hard to hate on the Lions or their fans.
