The Detroit Lions took Hendon Hooker in the third round of last week's draft, but that hasn't changed their long-term plans at quarterback.
Lions general manager Brad Holmes said Tuesday on 97.1 WXYT-FM that the organization has started talks with quarterback Jared Goff on a new contract.
"Yeah, we’ve had dialogue there," Holmes said. "We’ve had dialogue with his agent and we’re in a good place right now."
Goff, who turns 29 in October, helped the Lions vault into playoff contention last season with one of the best years of his career. He threw for 4,438 yards and 29 touchdowns while completing 65% of his passes, and did not throw an interception in the Lions' final nine games.
