We can debate all day whether it should be that way or not, but the market says you pay more than 35 million for an experienced QB.
And this isn't a journeyman QB. Ranks top 10 in most categories and top 5 in some. 2nd in yards this year to Tua. Division title and two playoff wins this year already. 5-3 lifetime in the playoffs so far.
I've read that the players union has to approve contracts and so even if a star QB wanted to give his team a great deal, they may not approve it.
Whatever the going rate for a playoff QB is, that's what the Lions would have to pay in an extension for Goff or wave him good-bye.
Structuring it might be creative. Look up Hurts contract in Philly for example to see how they've pushed out the cap hit.
Goff has said he loves Detroit and wants to stay. The fans love him there, chant his name at their hockey games!
For Brad Holmes to let Goff walk away, and then go for the unknown at QB would be a huge risk. If it goes south, you're done there.
Ramily!
