18 September 1955 – May 15 2024! Detroit Lions Icon Billy Sims Passed Away @68 Pro-Football-Reference reports that Goff concluded the 2023 regular season with 4,507 yards, good for second place in the NFL.
Jared Goff, the quarterback for the Detroit Lions, thought back on all that happened during his first three seasons with the team before it was revealed on Monday that he was inking a huge contract extension.
Goff recently told Jenna Lemoncelli of the New York Post, “It’s been a lot of fun for me to be a part of these last three years of building this thing from the ground up, and being able to win a division title and a couple of home playoff games.” “But now we want a little bit more than that, and hope we can be the last team standing there at the end of the year.”
Goff signed a four-year contract extension worth up to $212 million, including a guaranteed $170 million. He was originally scheduled to become a free agent after the 2024 season. After leading the Lions to their first postseason triumph since January 1992 and, finally, to this year’s NFC Championship Game, the 29-year-old deserved that payout.
during his trade to Detroit by the Los Angeles Rams during the 2020 season, Goff hasn’t been afraid to express his “chip” on his shoulder. The 2021 Lions finished with a record of 3-13-1. Detroit started the 2022 season with a record of 1-6 before winning 8-2 in its final 10 games of that year.
Regarding some of the low periods with the Lions, Goff stated, “I think coming here and having to go through some lumps, you have to figure things out a little bit and it forces you to learn a lot about yourself.” “You must discover your true self, which compels you to develop. It pushes you to improve in all facets of your life, as it did here in Detroit. I also adore the fans. I adore their passion and level of concern.”
