Report: Lions Boss speaks on his intention to make a deal with a new coach from ……..read more.
The Detroit Lions negotiated to contract extensions with offensive tacklee Penei Sewll and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown this summer, demonstrating their aggressiveness in locking up some of their own talent. It seems the team is still tying players to long-term contracts, though.
General manager of the Detroit Lions Brad Holmes said during a Thursday appearance on WXYT that the team is in talks to extend quarterback Jared Goff’s contract.
Above all, he deserves to have his time extended. We value it greatly, give it top priority, and are working extremely hard on it; these things simply take time. Thank you, Detroit Free Press
As a member of the Los Angeles Rams, Jared Goff signed a four-year, $134 million contract ($110 million guaranteed). He is currently in the final season of the deal. The former first-overall choice has performed admirably thus far in his career, going 66-50-1 with 67.3% completion percentage for 30,429 yards, 185 touchdown passes to 82 interceptions.
Three-time Pro Bowler Goff is getting ready for a possible Super Bowl run following the Giants’ defeat in the NFC Championship Game.
While it is unlikely to reach Patrick Mahomes’ current $450 million contract, it is easier to look at the average salary. The biggest thing that happens in contract extensions is surpassing the highest to keep pushing the rock forward. The average yearly salary of the top 10 quarterbacks at this time is shown below.
Joe Burrow: US$55,000,000
Justin Herbert: $52.5 million
Lamar Jackson is worth $52 million.
Jalen Hurts: $51,000,000.
Kyler Murray is worth $46,780,000.
Deshaun Watson: $46,500,000
$45 million for Patrick Mahomes
Cousin Kirk: $45 million
Josh Allen is worth $43 million.
Daniel Jones, Matthew Stafford, and Dak Prescott; $40 million
What can we anticipate from the Detroit Lions in the upcoming season?
The Lions are a young, talented squad that is starting to pay players. The team’s excellent offense is mostly carried over from the previous campaign. But they addressed their weak secondary by selecting Missouri cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in Round 2 and Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold in the first round.
Things won’t be easy, as the division gets better, the Green Bay Packers gain a year more of team cohesion and make major changes, and the Chicago Bears entirely reinvent their franchise. Don’t ignore the Lions, though, who finished as the third seed in the NFC Championship after winning the NFC North the previous season and winning two playoff games. They also dominated the first half of the game before succumbing.
It should be possible for the Detroit Lions to win the division once more this season, therefore it will be interesting to watch how the schedule is laid out when it is released the following week.

Rams Head Coach Antonio Pierce Disavows What Detroit Lions Wide Receiver Terrion Arnold Told Him
A strange disparity has surfaced between the Las Vegas Raiders and recently selected Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold in the flurry of post-NFL Draft headlines. The Raiders coaching staff has subsequently refuted an interesting story that Arnold, the 24th overall selection in the draft, shared on draft day.
Divergent Narratives from Arnold and the Raiders
Arnold told a tale about being approached by the Raiders right after the draft ended, which he shared on The Next Round Podcast. Arnold claims that the Raiders coach informed him that “we had a coin toss between you and Brock Bowers and landed on him.” This remark suggested a snap decision-making process that depended mostly on luck.
But in an interview with ESPN NFL analyst Ryan Clark, Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce took issue with these assertions and addressed them forcefully. Pierce categorically refuted any such exchange of ideas or coin-toss-based decision-making. On social media, Clark shared Pierce’s explanation, writing, “No call, no coin flip. We declared Bowers all the way as soon as the final two quarterbacks were off the board.
Pierce went on to say that Brock Bowers’ draft selection was decided upon long before the Raiders had a clock. This admission by Clark refuted Arnold’s story of a haphazard choice based on a coin toss and revealed the Raiders’ deliberate and methodical pick procedure.
The Final Word
The disparity between Antonio Pierce’s adamant denial and Terrion Arnold’s testimony highlights the inconsistencies and frequently contradictory narratives that surround the NFL Draft. While Pierce’s reaction and the Raiders’ readiness point to a more methodical approach to selection, Arnold’s account depicted a series of dramatic, last-minute judgments. This instance demonstrates how drastically different draft narratives can be based on the viewpoints of the parties involved.
