People on twitter (Lions fans I assume) saying that the contract won't be #2 for long are missing the point. They are now tied to a good and at times very-good QB who has never been considered elite--four at least the next few seasons. He is young, so maintaining this level of play is key. But I feel like we have seen this movie before. Goffs plays at a high level, gets paid, team realizes he isn't the elite multiplier they thought he was, team moves on.
I could be wrong, but seems like the Lions looked at their prospect (Hooker), looked at the next draft class, looked at the possible FA pool and jumped right in on paying Goff. We'll get the true numbers in a day or so and it won't be what is being shouted out now. Maybe the Lions have outs along the way, maybe some of the guarantees are really "guaranteed." (ie they are "NFL guaranteed".)
Granted I don't closely follow the Lions but this team feels ripe for a step-back season. What do I know.
