Lions quarterback Jared Goff is hitting the final two seasons of a contract extension, signed when Goff was with the Los Angeles Rams, that pays him $134 million over four years. While $33.5 million a season might not seem cheap, it’s a relative bargain on the NFL quarterback market.
ESPN evaluated the remaining contracts for the starters around the league. It effectively weighs the 2022 quarterback performance against the average annual value (AAV) of the rest of the contract. In this light, Goff comes out looking like a great value.
