Goff, 29, was entering the final year of a
contract he signed with the Rams before the 2021 trade that sent
Goff to Detroit and Matthew Stafford to Los Angeles.
Goff's reported $53 million annual average value would rank
second in the NFL behind Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe
Burrow, who has a $55 million AAV. Burrow signed a five-year,
$275 million deal last September.
After Goff took the Lions to their first playoff appearance
since 2016 and their first division title since 1993, general
manager Brad Holmes said the quarterback had "earned an
extension" and negotiations were ongoing.
Detroit worked out new deals for offensive tackle Penei Sewell
and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown last month.
Goff completed 67.3 percent of his passes for 4,575 yards and 30
touchdowns against 12 interceptions last season while leading
Detroit to its first division title since 1993 and its first two
playoff wins since the 1991 season.
