Lions continuing to have positive extension talks with both Jared Goff, Jonah Jackson

Allen Park — Brad Holmes rarely has much to say about contract negotiations, but the Detroit Lions general manager didn't close the door on getting extensions done for either guard Jonah Jackson or quarterback Jared Goff, with the team set to open the regular season next week.

"We've kept open dialogue with their agents in camp, and I think the transparency is that's been good," Holmes said. "We'll see how it goes."

The Lions could be looking at a contract extension for quarterback Jared Goff, which could have some financial benefit for both parties, along with an extension for guard Jonah Jackson.

Positional value aside, there's more urgency with Jackson, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract. The three-year veteran, who earned Pro Bowl honors in 2021, is set to be a free agent at the end of the season.
