The thing is, Goff already has a big contract. When you look at someone like Herbert, his cap number this year was $8 million and will be $57 million by 2027. That's a $50 million increase. Goff's cap number is already $30 million. Going up to $50 million wouldn't be as much of a shock as going from a rookie contract to $50 million.

Yeah but how much of that top 5 success is really Sean McVay and Todd Gurley?

I certainly wouldn't take the Patriots job over the Lions.

The Lions are the 5th youngest team in the league, have all their draft picks, and no bad contracts on the books. They are in great shape.

I don't understand how these Hamasholes think Joe Biden controls Israel? At the end of the day, Israel is going to do what it wants to do so why aren't they protesting any Israeli embassy?

I have Directv Stream and it is delayed. Usually I'll come here and read TP complaining about Ben Johnson and know a run for no gain must be coming up.

There is no difference in my eyes between Rashida Tliab and MAGA. These Hamasholes have taken over the extreme left. I think it's more like the Tea Party circa 2008 and I hope it doesn't take over the mainstream of the party like the Tea Party.

Holmes drafted so well in 2021 that I think 5 of his 7 draft picks are in line to get guaranteed contracts and two of them market setting contracts.

Lions have a lot of contracts to get done this offseason. Goff, St Brown, Sewell and I would add McNeill. Sewell is the only one with a 5th year option so the others would be free agents. You also have Melifonwu who could be inline for an extension if he plays like he has next year. Barnes has been solid but he's probably the odd man out with Campbell coming up. You may look to keep Barnes and move on from Anzalone. Anzalone is going to be 30 next year.

Goff's entire career with the Rams was outdoors. I think he just ran into superior teams when he lost. He's won in Green Bay twice and once was in January with everything on the line for the Packers.

Win or lose, the Lions will enter next season as legit Super Bowl contenders.

I still need to see Goff prove it without McVay.

I remember the same phenomena happening with the Tigers. In 2006 a Tigers playoff ticket was the hottest thing around. By 2014, it was a fairly easy ticket to get.

The Dak extension is going to be interesting to watch because that is probably the best comp for Goff. Goff already counts for over $30 million on the cap. They will probably do something that is about 4 years and $200-$250 million and ramp up his cap hit.

I know the two picks are spread over two years. In looking at the Rams draft, they got comp picks in 2021 and 2022 for the Lions hiring Holmes so it looks like the Lions would get comp picks in 2024 and 2025.

I believe the comp picks would come in 2025 and 2026.

Ben Johnson is the sole reason Jared Goff isn't a backup QB or so I'm told.

Ben Johnson reminds me of Brandon Staley even down to their physical appearance.

Looking at the contract Hurts signed is pretty wild. The Eagles really felt confident in Hurts. They put 4 void years on his contract so if he doesn't sign an extension he will count for $97 million against the cap. The Eagles can't cut him really either. The upside is he only counts $13 million against the cap in 2024. They gave him this contract thinking they would extend him at the end and he has already regressed.
