Jared Goff just became a much richer man Monday after the Detroit Lions inked their quarterback to a mammoth contract extension.
Goff agreed to a four-year, $212 million contract that includes $170 million guaranteed.
This deal now has him as the second-highest paid quarterback in the NFL only behind Bengals superstar Joe Burrow, who signed a record-setting $275 million deal last September.
Now that he’s being paid like an elite quarterback in the league, Detroit is hoping Goff can be the steady hand under center that helps propel the franchise to new heights as it hunts for that elusive Super Bowl title.
While Goff and the Lions are coming off a successful season in 2023, backing up the Brinks truck for a quarterback doesn’t always produce Lombardi Trophies.
