Jared Goff Says 'Security,' No-Trade Clause Played Role in $212M Lions Contract

The Detroit Lions and quarterback Jared Goff agreed to a four-year, $212 million extension with $170 million guaranteed that will keep him in town through 2028.

On Thursday morning, Goff spoke with reporters after officially signing the deal and mentioned "security" and the no-trade clause as important factors in the deal, per ESPN's Eric Woodyard:

"It was mostly security. You can go back and forth on the numbers and whatnot, and that wasn't really the thing that was ever something I was extremely concerned with. It was the security and the no-trade clause and all of that stuff, knowing that all that was in there and feeling secure in knowing that I can finally put that behind me and be excited about what's to come.
