FORT LAUDERDALE TO NEWARK — I’m somewhere over the Maryland/Virginia line as I write this mailbag. Got a little ways to go until I land in Jersey for my final camp visit. And you had questions to help me pass the time up here …
From Craig Ginsberg (@CraigAdamG): What is the outlook for Goff’s future in Detroit? Will the Lions be looking to draft QB of the future next year?
Craig, I think Goff suddenly looks pretty affordable. He played fine, for the most part, last year. He’s due $25.65 million next year (nonguaranteed) and $26.65 million in 2024. The contract he did with the Rams in 2019 ranks 11th in average per year ($33.5 million), but the $25 million or so he’s been making as a Lion (with the Rams having paid the bonus money) puts him right in the middle of the league between 16th and 17th.
