Another done deal in Detroit: Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million contract extension that includes $170 million guaranteed, sources tell ESPN.

I wonder what the straw will be that breaks the camel’s back. At some point contracts will plateau, and it’ll be interesting to see how that shakes out. [Reply]

Maybe next year those scrappy Lions make the Superbowl. And the Chiefs beat them.
That would be a great honor for the city of Detroit. A true blessing. [Reply]

I guess if you have to sign up for the entire 12 months?
YTTV - $75/month or $375 for September through February
Prime - $15/month or $75 September through January
Peacock - Let's pretend you have to pay $6 for 5 months.. $30.
Those 3 for the football season are $480 or $96/month (even though you could technically pause YTTV after the SB and save 2-3 weeks, and doubtful you'd need Peacock for 5 months).
I'm sure Sunday Ticket is thrown in there for many fans though.
Looks like Goff still had $27 million of cash remaining in his old contract. So it’s basically $197 million for 2024 through 2027. And a non-guaranteed team option for $42 million in the 2028 season. [Reply]

The season is right around 6 months long. That'd be $150/month. There is no way that data is correct. [Reply]
What I don’t get is if you are a QB like Goff. In a perfect situation with a young team. Is it really crazy to take 45m a year to help the team actually win something.
