Detroit has been showing love for quarterback Jared Goff, with chants of “JA-RED GOFF!” breaking out at Red Wings’ games, restaurants, and the airport in recent week. Goff has expressed his appreciation for the support from Lions fans and has stated that he would love for his relationship with the city to extend beyond 2024.
In an interview with Kyle Meinke of mlive.com, Goff mentioned, “I’ve loved every second of my time here and would love more. I love Dan [Campbell]. I love the coaches and all my teammates. Yeah, it would be great. But it’s not up to me.”
Goff is entering a contract year in which he is scheduled to make $21.7 million in base salary and count $31.7 million against the cap in 2024. Negotiating a new deal would likely cost the Lions more as the market for quarterbacks has seen an increase in salaries, with 12 quarterbacks averaging at least $40 million a year.
The quarterback expressed that the decision regarding his future in Detroit is not entirely up to him and that it is in the hands of his representatives and the front office of the Lions. Despite the uncertainty of his contract situation, Goff remains focused on his performance and is not concerned about when or if a new contract happens.
Goff’s performance on the field in 2023 certainly warrants consideration for a new deal, as he earned his third career Pro Bowl selection and achieved career-high statistics, completing 67.3 percent of his passes for 4,575 yards with 30 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Additionally, the Lions’ success in the regular season, with 12 wins, and their first division title since 1993, further solidify Goff as a valuable asset to the team.
Overall, Goff’s positive relationship with Detroit and his impressive on-field performance make a strong case for a potential long-term future with the Lions.
