The No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft signed a four-year, $134 million contract extension back in 2019, of which he was paid every cent.

What was important to Goff? Security for his future. That meant making sure he didn’t go through what he went through when the Los Angeles Rams traded him, plus first-round picks in 2022 and 2023, to Detroit in 2021 in exchange for quarterback Matthew Stafford.

That being said, Goff still got majorly paid when he signed a four-year, $212 million contract extension with the Lions on May 13 that included $170 million guaranteed and an NFL-record $73 million signing bonus.
