So with everyone wanting to discuss a Goff extension, I’ll give a hypothetical.
Would you rather pay Goff lower per year, on a longer contract, mostly guaranteed? Or a short term contract, with less guaranteed, but a higher per year.
Here are extremes:
-
10 years, 300 million fully guaranteed.
-
3 years, 210 non guaranteed.
Every contract falls somewhere in the middle, but curious what folks are thinking.
Likely wishful thinking, but I’ve started wondering whether Goff will accept a very team friendly contract, at least in terms of annual $. He seems to be happy, it will contribute to the team’s (and thus his) success, making DET a real winner might give him a shot at the HOF, he’s already rich AF, lives in a relatively low cost of living region, and knows what it’s like to be miserable in the NFL. History, human nature and the comp model for sports agents make me think it’s unlikely, but boy would it be sweet.
