Congratulations to Jared Goff on signing a record setting Lions contract! It's clear as day that the Lions value Goff enormously!

Jared Goff extension won’t make Dak Prescott deal any cheaper

........

The Lions proactive approach with massive contract extensions, once the Lions determine this is a player the Lions prioritize retaining for multiple more seasons, does indeed make a great amount of sense.

Jared Goff got the security and the no-trade clause he wanted in his new contract

...............

It's a win-win situation for both the Lions and Jared Goff. The Lions now have stability at the most important position in the NFL. Jared Goff now has stability in his professional life and a record setting contract for a Lions player, both regarding guaranteed money and overall potential money.
