Things change so quickly in the NFL. In 2021 Goff's contract was considered so bad that the Rams had to attach a 1st round pick to make it go away. By the end of 2022, it was considered good value.
This would be perfect. By the time his cap hit exceeds what it is now in 2027, the cap would have likely increased 3 times by then and other QBs are creeping into the $60 million per range.
I seem to recall Holmes said he wanted to be more like the Ravens. The Ravens are a team that drafts well and doesn't spend a lot in free agency. The Ravens signed Flacco to a huge contract and were able to remain competitive for pretty much the entirety of his contract. The Lions want to be a consistent winner like the Ravens. They aren't always a Super Bowl caliber team but their floor is usually 9-10 wins and a playoff berth.
I'll guess the feeling would be different if they were harassing black students instead of Jewish students and told black students to go back to Africa instead of telling Jewish students to go back to Poland.
Do people talking about the cap realize that Goff had the 3rd highest cap hit in the league last year? Only two players in the NFL took up more of the cap than Goff. He's not on some rookie deal. He's already getting paid. An extension would probably lower his cap hit in the short term.
Goff is the whole reason for the turnaround. The Lions were able to trade Stafford and not only get their future QB but multiple 1st round picks that they used on the roster instead of having to package them for a QB.
It would be like if the Democrats brought out Ron Reagan Jr and he was talking about Medicare for All and expected Republicans to vote for him because he is a Reagan. The Kennedy family hasn't been relevant in decades. Ted Kennedy died 15 years ago. My mother is in her 70's and is a huge fan of the Kennedy family. Loved Bobby Kennedy and she hates Jr. She can see right through and is mad that he is ruining the Kennedy name.
Vaki and Montgomery are similar size. Both ran identical 40's. Both are elite tackle breakers. Is Vaki the potential Montgomery replacement in two years?
She was also one who was demanding the UAW rescind their endorsement of Biden and support a ceasefire because a labor union should be more involved in international affairs that have nothing to do with workers rights.
