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:

  1. 10 years, 300 million fully guaranteed.

  2. 3 years, 210 non guaranteed.

Every contract falls somewhere in the middle, but curious what folks are thinking.

    The shorter the term the higher the money/guarantees per year. Jared has just turned 29, unless he retires prematurely then he’s doing everything to prove he should be the Lions QB for the next 6/7 seasons.

    He should get top of the market money, because the top of the market keeps rising and by the end of the contract it’s comparatively cheap. But I’m sure the team are talking to him about not just his earning aspirations but his career so we can succession plan effectively and offer him a contract that fits his desire.
