Goff signed a four-year, $212 million contract extension in November 2024, three years after his trade from the Rams. The Lions cannot cut Goff at a financial gain until 2026, per Over The Cap. A post-June 1 designation then would save $35 million with $34.6 million in dead money.

The NFL had made a call on a Jared Goff play in the Detroit Lions vs. Washington Commanders game, and it's good for Goff.
