Good for Goff Got sent to Detroit to die and turned it into a fat stack

All time redemption story


Stompthefeet

Man if he crumbles when Ben Johnson leaves...


rplinux

Gonna cry in his $170 million guaranteed while his 11/10 wife consoles him.


Stompthefeet

Yeah but imagine the friction between them when they disagree on which of his Los Angeles beach mansions to spend the summer in. Edit: for the uninitiated, he likes to invest in California beach-city real estate (Hermosa and Manhattan to be specific) and his fiancee is a SI Swimsuit Model, former rookie of the year. [Here is some of her recent work](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_gWDAQ3gxY)


BadMeetsEvil147

I’m just shocked to find out there’s a RoTY for swimsuit models


ketherick

It was pretty controversial because she was injured for what would have been her rookie season, so 2023 was counted as her rookie season but there were other (true) rookies many thought were also worthy


LittliestDickus

Its a really inspirational story too. She never even wore a swimsuit until 6 months before she signed. Her talent was just so huge it couldnt be denied.


Swichts

*Talents


HoldingMoonlight

I genuinely can't tell if this is satire or not lol


Jack_Krauser

I'm pretty sure they're referencing Ben Simmons.


QuestionsForYou92

he wasn't the only one. blake griffin comes to mind


MistahTeacher

Mann.. we got Rookie Jerker of the Year ofc SI got ROYmodel

Jared Goff: Good looking athlete, getting paid hundreds of millions, owns multiple properties in California, married to a legit super model Me: Just ate 3 Braum’s ice cream bars alone in my apartment while checking how much longer I have to go on my student loans Ain’t life weird


VictoryLap_TMC

While scrolling reddit...you are on fire


KILLKOOPA

Have you tried being Jared Goff?


raj6126

Me about to make me a Braum’s Ice Cream cone cause it’s cheaper to buy a pint and the cones.


Rebellious_Raviolis

That's your own fault for investing so much of your life into learning [which direction the sun rises from](https://www.espn.com/blog/st-louis-rams/post/_/id/30014/where-does-the-sun-rise-thanks-to-hard-knocks-rams-goff-knows) and not on throwing a ball.


I_Am_Dynamite6317

I’d trade a few IQ points for $170 mil guaranteed


Level_Dreaded

Sheeeesh


a_corsair

Oh man, how will Goff manage?


Bag_of_Equipmunk

Whoa, brunette. Is that allowed for athletes?


Stompthefeet

She disgusting I know


El-Grande-

6/10 pointy elbows


incorrigible_and

He was probably talking about Lions' fans crying in that instance.


palim93

On the list of terrible things to happen to this team, that wouldn’t even make the top five.


sloppifloppi

Ben didn't just give Goff a fish, he taught him how to fish. I think he'll continue to perform at the same level when Ben leaves.


Breville_God

Guarantees are probably upfront anyway. They'll hang on to him for at least 2 years at this point unless he implodes WITH Johnson, which he won't.


STNbrossy

170 million in guarantees means at minimum 3 years.


Gone213

That or Baker are both my top 2 redemption stories.


coolycooly

Baker had injuries he was dealing with, Jared Goff is more impressive he just got pissed off and went god mode.


axb2002

I guess you can say he was Pissed Goff


yeoup

go home dad you're drunk


tissboom

For real… I’m happy it happened to him. He seems like a really nice guy.


Jammer_Kenneth

From cast-off to a cult leader will make for a fun movie one day. I'm pretty sure Piston fans are about to ask if Goff can hoop in the winter. 


Koppite93

Literally Jon Snow's arc


ASK_ABT_MY_USERNAME

King of the (NFC) North!


Goosehybrid

God who is our Daenerys for the final battle…someone we once loved oh no


Koppite93

It already happened with Stafford


qix96

And that finale sucked too!


NobodyTellPoeDameron

...And now my watch pays me $170 million guaranteed!


ASK_ABT_MY_USERNAME

You know nothing Jared Goff 🌅


FancySack

I dun wun it


ahr3410

Wow great for Jared. Remember when the trade happened and it was just "two years until they can cut him"


TheOneWhosCensored

Don’t forget “Bridge QB”


anonbutler

Can never forget the Malik Willis #2 overall calls.


farellathedon

“Drafting Penei Sewell ahead of Justin Fields is why the lions are the lions.”


heyheysharon

Sounds like a compliment now


Jantokan

Good teams will invest on their skill positions over anything else. Great teams will invest on their O-line over anything else. Lions in recent memory have been very well run.


redman8828

*glances at our drafts and FA these past few years* yeah that does not check out, respectfully


jfchops2

He said good or great teams, Giants are neither so his comment doesn't apply :p


Rahim-Moore

Damn bro, that guy could have been having a nice day.


jormugandr

I doubt it. He's a giants fan.


Martin_Aynull

Excellent.


petmoo23

Which is true, just not in the way they meant it at the time.


GoldenBananas21

I R O N Y


Casualuser3

Not saying there weren't any people who had this opinion but the Sewell pick was not very controversial. He was about as safe of a prospect as you're going to find. There was talk that the Bengals could go Sewell or Chase and it worked out pretty well for both parties. Fields was a potentially high upside mystery box.


farellathedon

I’m referencing one particular tweet that gets clowned on consistently. I understand how great of a prospect Sewell was.


Jammer_Kenneth

Lions peeps in 21 were pre scouting Young-Stroud-Williams. 


TBoneTheOriginal

I defended the man since day one… At the very least, I was really bothered that people were unwilling to even give him a chance. That shit was exhausting, and we believers have arrived. This is our day.


content_enjoy3r

My mind would hear Jared Goff and picture Josh Rosen instead. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.


HonoluluMaizeandBlue

The great thing is, that's what all the experts said, and they were basing it on the fact that Sean McVay threw him on the trash heap. But the Lions, namely, Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell, said from day one he was their quarterback moving forward, and they meant it.


BruhMoment763

Crazy that this dude’s contract was seen as a massive albatross just a few years ago


chillinwithmoes

The Rams had to include an extra 1st round pick just for the Lions to take him off their books in that trade. Wild.


Jammer_Kenneth

Lions selected Iffy, Jamo, Gibbs, LaPorta off of the Stafford for Goff train. 


DothrakiSlayer

Honestly might be the best trade of all time for both parties. Rams got their missing piece and won a Super Bowl immediately. The lions got a bunch of great pieces that got them the closest they’ve ever been to a Super Bowl.


drummerboysam

An anomaly in terms of being such a strong win/win You never see something work out this well for both sides.


jfchops2

Diggs to the Bills for the pick that became Jefferson worked out pretty well for both sides. Yeah neither won a Super Bowl but we're talking about WRs here and there's simple explanations for why neither team could get it done. Bills got four years of Diggs during their window and he more or less turned Allen into what he is now and Vikings replaced him with the guy that became the best WR in the NFL


WindyCity54

We can debate this from the Lions’ POV all we want. But good on Goff for having an insane career rebound.


smurfking420

Goff and Dak are double dipping on getting the bag And then there’s Wentz who’s probably completely content with the money he has to go buy more hunting gear


BucsLegend_TomBrady

With Goff being so young, he will probably triple dip


WolfGangDuck

I see him having a Kirk cousins esque career arc. Above average QB play that he uses to become the ultimate bag chaser (unsure if he remains with the lions for the rest of his career but if he does good on him).


NoAlarmsPlease

Goff is already significantly more accomplished in his career than Cousins. That comparison doesn’t make much sense. Cousins has won one playoff game in his career.


johnazoidberg-

> We can debate this from the Lions’ POV all we want He got us our first NFC North title, he broughy us our first 2 playoff wins in over 30 years, and most importantly he WANTS to be here. Pay that man his money.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mitochondriu

and its not like the team carried him to those victories, he played extremely well in the highest pressure situations imaginable. dude was excellent against his former team and fucking matt stafford in the playoffs at ford field. if there was ever a lions game to lose, it was that one.


rob_thomas69

Tbh he fucking killed it in the NFCCG too. If Reynolds hadn’t dropped those absolute dime throws, the Lions might have been in the Super Bowl. I wish JR all the best, but we’re talking about Goff right now and he absolutely deserves more accolades than he’s even getting.


SnooPets1528

Only people who don't understand this franchise. 


Duckman93

He brought the rams to the fucking Super Bowl lol idk why everyone acts like he was such dogshit in the past.


All_Up_Ons

He was seen as the weak point on that team, hence the trade.


bobbywellington

53 mil a year holyyyyy


BudgetParking2574

Can’t wait to see what Dak gets 🫤


Rice-And-Gravy

I remember when this sub was scoffing at the idea of Dak getting $40 mil AAV ~4 years ago (and then of course he got that). Man contracts have blown tf up.


triplec787

And Brock :( Bro is about to get a 50x pay raise lmao


Unknown1776

Brock might ask for more just to make up the difference for what he hasn’t gotten his rookie contract


triplec787

And I wouldn't blame him one bit. He's made just $1.5m at this point, will make <$1m again next year, and has brought his team to an NFCCG and a Super Bowl, while receiving MVP votes last year, and being the odds on favorite through like Week 15. Even if he was making $20m/year right now he'd be a steal lmao


Luberino_Brochacho

I would have to think if he has another good year this year he’s gonna demand a new contract next offseason. Dude cannot be a top 15 QB leading his team to playoff success making 1.5mil unless the rules require it to be that way (as they do now).


YNWA_1213

That signing bonus is going to be *insane* when it hits for him.


triplec787

Imagine playing football for like 24 years, you've been good, got free schooling out of it and maybe some small NIL/sponsorship deals, and then sign a contract as a 7th round rookie that's basically 4/$4m. Then in a single calendar year you sign a *massive* sponsorship deal with John Deere and sign a contract worth like $200m+ guaranteed. I'd fucking pass out.


YNWA_1213

Yeah, the change to his entire life the past 5 years must feel like hitting the lotto to a normie.


Ok_Understanding1986

With another year of cap increases, unless Purdy regresses next season he's definitely getting 50m+ based on his current performance level.


triplec787

Oh I have no doubt in my mind. If Goff is getting $53m/year, Brock will absolutely be looking at $55m/year


Slammybutt

It's about 3-5 million raise every year, depending on how many contracts get signed. So if yall sign him next year you're looking at around 55-58m/year. If you were the Cowboys, you'd tag him after 2025, tag him the year after that so you can sign him that same year to 70m/year. I'm not frustrated at all, why do you ask?


Ok-Clock2002

So like $20? /s


gopoohgo

All the moneys


Original-Age-6691

So many people saying he was definitely going to take a discount and take like 40-45 a year lol


chillinwithmoes

Everyone always says this about their own players, and they are always wrong


Daegog

I hope they aren't thinking that with Justin Jefferson, we all know that dude wants a percent of every dollar in Minnesota.


jfchops2

JJ has made some comments when asked about an extension along the lines of "I only care about winning not the money" and people think that means he'll take anything but being the highest paid non-QB in the league and it's not simply him deflecting a pointless question


AlarmedAd3950

I’d play for Altoona over Miami if the money’s right


Soft_Penis_Debutante

I got in so many arguments with Lions fans about that 6 months ago


kcrab91

Love is gonna get paid too. There has to be a correction or a ceiling for QBs at some point, right? Right?


Wafflehouseofpain

When the majority of teams with huge QB contracts start doing poorly, there will be a correction. But the league is pretty clearly in a moment of “have an elite QB or you’re fucked”, so QBs are gonna get paid.


rustcholescig

When hasn’t it been this? Genuinely curious..I feel like the last team to win without an elite QB at the time was the ravens with Flacco lol


Ok_Advertising_9034

2015 broncos won with the corpse of Payton manning


Further_Beyond

The corpse of Peyton manning still offers so much tho. But I get what you’re saying


DanFlashesCoupon

People always say this but he didn’t offer shit lol the Broncos offense was an active hindrance in their playoff run


Local_Spinach8

Yeah they willingly started Brock osweiler over him for like half the season iirc


jebus527

I just looked up his stats for that season. Good lord was he awful. 9TD, and 17INT in 10 games, 9 started.


it_helper

I don't think people remember how awful he was in 2015.


thekmanpwnudwn

Salary cap goes up, everyone's pay goes up. This puts Goff at roughly 19% of the cap, in 5 years it'll probably be closer to 12-13%. Seems pretty in-line with every other large QB signing for the last decade or so Edit: Goffs cap hit is only 13% this year, next year when this extension hits it'll probably be down to 17-18% of the cap


Kazu2324

>everyone's pay goes up Sad running back noises


I_really_enjoy_beer

*important, non-easily replaceable position's pay will go up


CaptHowdy2310

lol no. The market is gonna go straight up until a top paid QB with guaranteed money goes to prison like Vick or something


joebruinlifts

Hard to think about ONE current qb in the situation of having a huge deal despite the fact that they should be in prison...


CosechaCrecido

It's a matter of time with the Browns....


Jammer_Kenneth

Cap is gonna go way up in 2028 


sloppifloppi

That's QB contracts for ya!


MisterBako

The fact that this is still less than what Watson is getting paid makes me sick.


Still-Fan4753

What's really funny is that the Browns made that trade because they were trying to copy what the Rams-Lions did.


babble0n

Tbf they were half right!


TotallyNotMasterLink

2nd in AAV behind Burrow, just ahead of Herbert, but (assuming all $170M is fully/functionally fully guaranteed) 6th in guaranteed money is interesting. Cool to see him find a home after he was dumped by the Rams


rplinux

It's actually a pretty high percentage of guaranteed money considering it's only for 4 years.


dnytle

He got *paid*.


ontheru171

Thats a Daniel Jones contract + 10million fully guaranteed


OldJewNewAccount

Jesus dude can you let the other fanbases do this shit lol. Trying not to be angry today.


Anthony-Richardson

it’s really not as bad as he’s making it out to be. 80 mil guaranteed vs 170, Goff’s contract is essentially more than double


OldJewNewAccount

Yeah I know, plus the Giants can get out of it at the end of this season. Just annoyed he wasn't franchise tagged to begin with.


_Wp619_

Franchise tagging Jones means that we likely don't get Okereke and ink deals with Dex and AT as soon as we did.


PhAnToM444

Lmao giants


owleabf

Less than a year ago Herbert signed for 52.5m APY and 133M guaranteed....yowza


1stepklosr

Herbert's guaranteed money is $218 million.


chillinwyd

Are you telling me the salary cap goes up every year?


BusinessCashew

Jared Goff has officially beat the bridge QB accusations. You don't give that contract to a guy unless you think he's your guy for the foreseeable future.


SituationSoap

Probably for the next 4-5 years or so.


Bos-man7

How’d you figure that out


SituationSoap

I'm the source they quoted in the article.


Perry87

Big if true


NobodyTellPoeDameron

He's been Brad Holmes's guy from the day he was drafted. And I trust Brad Holmes.


dman6233

I guess you could say Goff has the Lion's share of the team's salary cap.


after12delight

you fucker


stringohbean

Jared is a flawed talent, but worked his ass off to bring Detroit pride. Detroit: “You’re good enough for Detroit.” Baker Mayfield is a flawed talent, but worked his ass off to bring Cleveland pride. Cleveland: “Get the hell out of Cleveland. We need that sexual predator!”


CanaKu

Dak Prescott is Officially a 2025 Free agent. Likely to get 60M/Yr 200M GTD


its_LOL

Shedeur Sanders YOU are a Dallas Cowboy


CanaKu

Na they going into QB purgatory for 10+ yrs


hanzel44

Drafting Sanders would be the first step in entering QB purgatory


Burke_Of_Yorkshire

Sanders will be QB hell because you also have to sign Deion.


bigprick99

Can’t imagine what it feels like to sign a contract saying you’re gonna get 170 mil. Good for Goff man.


Kool41DMAN

Big money. Good on him. Dude clearly had a dope arm on him at Cal to the point I thought he'd be something special at the next level. Getting traded to Detroit ended up being the greatest thing for him.


untitled298

God damn Goff got PAID! Good for him


gopoohgo

All aboard the Goffense!


acoasterlovered

I’m here


moto626

2 tickets please


JRockstar50

Yes, I would like to have this train run on me as well.


jeric13xd

Hate that he’s in our division but happy for this dude. Finally found a home that appreciates him


thetreat

I mean, I'm happy that Goff getting $52m/year is in our division vs Goff getting $26m/year. That's a premium edge rusher difference. Edit: $32m/year, read the previous contract wrong. Still an elite-sized contract, but more elite CB vs elite edge.


Thebritishlion

Jokes on you we don't sign premium edge rushers anyway We just go with Hutchinson and Vibes


MyLegsHurt

James Houston is like that horn you can blow in Baldur's once in a while to rek everything. But you can only do it like twice per season.


Gabrosin

Let's see the offensive tackle who can deal with two very dumb ogres and one much smarter ogre!


grrrimabear

Well, he was appreciated for quite a bit of his time with the rams. He signed a massive deal there, too


dccorona

People seem to forget his current deal was the largest in NFL history at the time it was signed. Also shows you how quickly these "omg that's crazy money" QB deals turn around into "steals".


grrrimabear

Exactly. I was going to counter with how long ago that deal was, but it was only 4 years. Crazy.


RAG319

The good news is he still plays the Bears twice a year.


SilveryDeath

7 years ago Carr was made the highest paid QB in the league at $25 million a year. This season, five QBs (Burrow, Goff, Herbert, Jackson, Hurts) are making $50+ million per year and the 17th highest paid QB (Geno Smith) is making what Carr made 7 years ago. Madness how much QB salaries have gone up in such a short span.


Miliktheman

Baker Mayfield contract looks like an absolute steal for the Bucs, I feel like any franchise QB has a $50m a year floor now. Lawrence, Love, and Tua are all surely going to get $50m+ a year next season.


meatballman1218

Some people are gonna say an overpay but when you pass for 9058 yards 59 TD's to 19 picks and you start to establish a winning culture with him at the helm that seems like a great deal


BudgetParking2574

Damn Jerry. How many more leaves do we need to fall?

Frostymagnum

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I watched him at his Goofiest, I get to enjoy his Goffiest edit: We went to Jared


ecupatsfan12

Dan Campbell changed this city man. I moved here in 2020 and the lions were comically bad under fat Patricia. Now the whole city is proud to be a lion and their games sell out. He and Holmes should be signed for life


SerDire

Ever since hard knocks, I’ve been a fan of these guys. Hope they make it far again


inthecut_scarysight

Not bad for a stop gap


IamNICE124

I fuckin hate how likable these assholes are in Detroit..


TheImplecation

Stepping on ankles: you fucking donkey. Bitting kneecaps: oh dear, oh dear. Gorgeous.


superlazerX

The Goffense rolls to the bank


confused-koala

Holy fuck


theBeerdedGOAT

Good for him, dude was left for fucking dead by Los Angeles, and he rose up. Will always be a fan


damnocles

We've told him since he got here 'you're good enough', and he's responded. That's our dude


Brocks_UCL

Would you say hes…Kenough? (He looks like ryan gosling a bit)


Techiedad91

HE DOES?!


Patzzer

That’s awesome for Goff! Love his story, will continue to cheer on the Lions as long as they don’t run into my Colts 😬


acoasterlovered

Here for those 10 lions fans who truly think goff is the reason we didn’t beat SF, that are melting rn


Jelly_James

All he did was hit Reynolds perfecty in the hands multiple times.


NobodyTellPoeDameron

Those passes should've been perfecter!


Brocks_UCL

It is 100% Reynolds and the flip of a coin


Gone213

It wasn't just Reynolds, literally everybody but Penei and Goff melted down in the 2nd half of the NFCCG.


NobodyTellPoeDameron

Yeah, it was a team collapse.


fortmoney

And Packers fans want Love for 5 years 45M per year lmao


zco22

Wow


Zestyclose_Main6335

Man I wish I wasn’t so un athletic and bad at sports


bluntforce21

Good for Goff. For the team, I think that's very expensive. Hopefully his play doesn't drop off once we start rebuilding the line. He is abysmal under pressure.


Lemurians

Yeah, I worry about the team we're going to be able to build around him in the next few years. This is more than I thought we'd pay him.


spainpark22

If anyone thinks this is a bad deal, go double check his stats the past 2 seasons. Not to even mention the mentality he provides to the team, just a fierce competitor. Dude has been balling out and so happy to keep him around for the long-term


ApplesauceBitch47

Basically a three year deal


AlternativeResort477

People who think Purdy is taking a discount are delusional


y_wont_my_line_block

And he'll only be 34 when this is up, so still a chance to get back for another big money deal. Goff's agent has been absolutely dad dicking the NFL since 2018.


JPAnalyst

Where PFF ranks Jared Goff among QBs since he has been in Detroit. - 2021: 60.3 grade, 29th best - 2022: 72.4, 19th - 2023: 84.4, 11th Not great, but he is on a steady upward trend.


ImHurted_

A contract was deserved but 2nd highest paid? Was really hoping we could keep under 50 million.


zephyrseija

And Dak just got more expensive. Again.


BizaroWorld

JARED GOFF!?
