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.

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.

Jared Goff’s NFL career has had an interesting arc. The 2016 No. 1 overall pick guided the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl in 2018, but after a two-year slump, the 26-year-old signal-caller was traded to the Detroit Lions for 33-year-old Matthew Stafford and a haul of draft picks.

Goff’s 4,629 yards were second only to Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (4,918). Burrow is also a finalist for the award, along with Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff and Dan Campbell have been named finalists for MVP and Coach of the Year, respectively.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw for a career-best 37 touchdowns this season under the watchful eye of then-offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Lions general manager Brad Holmes doesn't expect the good times to come to an end for Goff now that Johnson has moved on to become the head coach of the NFC North-rival Chicago Bears.
