NFL Rumors: Jared Goff, Lions Not 'Close' on Contract After St. Brown, Sewell Deals

Amid the Detroit Lions' pre-draft spending spree, Jared Goff isn't among the players on the brink of landing a contract extension from the reigning NFC North champs.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, "no deal is close" between Goff and the Lions right now even though the two sides have talked about an extension.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday that Amon-Ra St. Brown agreed to a four-year, $120 million extension with the Lions that includes $77 million guaranteed.

Not long after St. Brown's deal was reported, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo noted Penei Sewell agreed to a new four-year, $112 million deal with $85 million guaranteed.

The Lions acquired Goff from the Los Angeles Rams in March 2021 as part of the Matthew Stafford trade.

Goff is entering the final season of his four-year, $134 million contract that was signed in September 2019 when he was with the Rams.

Before the NFC Championship Game in January, Rapoport reported Goff and the Lions were going to have extension talks during the offseason.

Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters in March that new deals for Goff and St. Brown were "priorities" for the team.

"Those are certainly priorities," Campbell said. "I'm not going to get into those, but certainly there's conversations that are being had.

While it's unclear what type of extension Goff is looking for, CBS Sports' Joel Corry offered Justin Herbert's five-year, $262.5 million deal from the Los Angeles Chargers as a potential baseline because of his statistical performance in 2023 and success in the playoffs.

Joe Burrow is currently the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL after signing a five-year, $275 million extension with the Cincinnati Bengals last offseason.

Goff threw for 4,575 yards, 30 touchdowns and completed a career-high 67.3 percent of his attempts last season. He added 837 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions and a 69.4 completion percentage in Detroit's three playoff games.

The Lions won their first division title since 1993 and first playoff game since 1991 last season.
