Jared Goff Signs $212M, $53M AAV Extension with Lions, NFL's Second-Highest Paid QB

May 13, 2024, 08:58 PM

Jared Goff has signed a significant contract extension with the Detroit Lions, making him the second-highest paid quarterback in the NFL based on average annual value (AAV). The deal is reportedly worth $212 million over four years, with $170 million guaranteed, and an AAV of $53 million. This contract sets a new benchmark for quarterbacks, with Goff's AAV at $53 million. This extension comes as other quarterbacks like Tua Tagovailoa, Dak Prescott, and Trevor Lawrence are also in line for substantial contracts. Goff's performance, particularly his resilience against the blitz where he led the league with 1,623 passing yards last season, played a key role in securing this lucrative deal.
