With a contract extension looming in the near future and an untested rookie Hendon Hooker waiting in the wings, would you trade Goff in the offseason for a mid-to-late 1st round pick?
If we extend him and have to pay him we’re probably looking at being married to him for another 4 years at $40-45 million/year.
If we don’t extend him we’re rolling the dice on a 26 or 27 year old rookie QB who played in a weird college offense, but would have money to sign our other players at least until 2028 when Hooker’s rookie contract ends, assuming that he’s the answer. If Hooker is not the answer, then we enter quarterback purgatory in 2024. Prior to drafting Stafford in 2024, the Lions suffered a decades’ long cycle of quarterback suckage and mediocrity newer fans may not remember. Do we want to risk that when we could resign Goff?

Sooo much this. Do people like dak, Daniel jones, Kyler, or even Josh Allen all the time??? Those guys are all paid relatively more than Goff, and he is arguably the best out of all them right now. People think generational qbs just grow on trees. We have our guy and the most important thing about Goff is he has bought in to our team and city. He’s never going to give up in a game, he’s got that grit
