Lions and QB Jared Goff agree on $212 million, 4-year extension with $170 million guaranteed

A person familiar with the situation reports that quarterback Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions have reached an agreement on a $212 million, four-year deal extension.

The individual, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms were not disclosed, told The Associated Press on Monday that the arrangement included guarantees totaling $170 million.

In January, Goff put an end to the Motor City’s long-term quest for a quarterback capable of winning a playoff game. For the first time since winning the 1957 NFL championship, he assisted the Lions in winning two playoff games in a single postseason.

After defeating the Matthew Stafford-led Los Angeles Rams in an NFC wild-card game and defeating Tampa Bay in the NFC championship game, Stafford guided the team to its first postseason victory in thirty-two years.

Three years ago, Goff and two first-round selections were purchased by Lions general manager Brad Holmes from the Rams, Stafford’s previous team.

Goff, who was about to enter the last year of his contract, has a contract with Detroit through the 2028 campaign.
