The Detroit Lions are signing quarterback Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million contract extension that includes $170 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday.
The deal makes the former No. 1 overall pick the highest-paid player in franchise history.
The $53 million average annual salary in Goff’s new deal makes him the second highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, behind only the Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow ($55 million).
