I thought they might get it done somewhere in the mid to late 40s per year. When Daniel Jones is making 40 million a year then Goff isnāt exactly astronomical
He has been very consistent for two and a half seasons though and all the knocks against him when he was a Ram that he couldnāt run an offence without Mcvey in his ear, couldnāt handle the blitz, couldnāt do it in cold weather etc have not been evident since he got his mojo back 10 games or so into his time in Detroit.
Those first 10 games he looked absolutely broken and heading towards becoming a back up QB. He comes across as thoroughly decent skin and his team mates and fans in Detroit have really taken a shine to him.
Think the Lions have been clever in getting their three key contracts locked up good and early too.
By getting St Brown for 30 million a year they have fairly snookered the Vikings as Jefferson is going to want 35+ now.
Also getting this done before Tua and the Dolphins do means it is more on their terms. Dolphins will have to be exceed this number now and Jordan Love is also in a contract year too.
I thought he was very good last year for the most partā¦ almost unrecognisable. There was a mini slump possibly second half of the season where i was thinking the old Goff is back but he finished the season well. Strikes me as a lad that can get in his own head at timesā¦ But Iād take him over a Lamar or these Mickey mouse RBs turned QBs any day.
Christian Darrisaw got a big pay day during the week too.
Lions locking up Sewell, Goff and St Brown early in the off season looking like great bidnezz - Wirks, Lambe, Chase et al are going to get huge contracts
Browns will be Cooper & a 2nd, Pats will be Judon, Bourne and 3rd or Judon and a 2nd(33rd or 34th overall) Aiyuk may see this is all thatās out there and sign for less money offered too.
Amari Cooper must be a complete dickhead as he is a very talented and fairly productive WR and capable of being a WR1 for most teams yet Dallas and Cleveland had/have little interest in keeping him around.
In other news, the Lions and Giants seem to be beating the shit out of each other in joint practice - 8 skirmishes yesterday and more today.
Malik Nabors looks the real deal too.
