Lions GM Holmes acknowledges opening extension talks with Goff, discusses draft class

Two weeks ago, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff said he had yet to hear from the team regarding a possible contract extension. But following the NFL draft, there's suddenly some positive momentum on that front. According to general manager Brad Holmes, in an interview with 97.1 The Ticket, the two sides have had some conversations about extending Goff's future in Detroit.

"Yeah, we've had dialogue there and we've had dialogue with his agent," Holmes said. "We're in a good place right now."

For Holmes, who typically doesn't discuss anything regarding contract negotiations, even that low-level acknowledgment of talks is noteworthy.
