Lions QB Jared Goff agrees to terms on four-year, $212 million extension
The Detroit Lions and quarterback Jared Goff have agreed to terms on a four-year, $212 million extension, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Monday, per a source.
Find yourself someone who values you, like Brad Holmes values Goff.
Had to Google who that was because I’m not a Lions expert… but Goff deserves a great contract. Could Campbell do it with a different QB? Maybe. But Goff earned his keep last year.
Holmes is Lions current GM, who traded for him and stuck by him when everyone called him a bridge Qb and there were call to replace him.
Also Holmes was in the Rams Front office(Scouting Director) when the Rams took Goff as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft.

Both of them have built something different in Detroit. Goff was considered to be put out to pasture by many (me included) but he has proved everyone wrong and earned it.
I'd argue he started earning it in the second half of his first season in Detroit. He really shook off his trade disappointment, buckled down and started playing to his potential that year. As the team got better, they reaped the rewards from a higher level of QB play.
Detroit was not going to get a better QB through trades or free agency, and the offense is literally built for him. Let's see if he can bring a Superbowl trophy to the Lions.
