The hesitation with Goff is just due diligence on BH’s part. Goff wants a longer term deal than what the Lions want to give right now. Just wanting to make sure they manage the cap for the future the best they can. We more than likely won’t see a Goff deal until after they see what they have in Hooker in preseason. If Hooker plays lights out in preseason, we may not see a Goff contract for long term. Last I heard Detroit only wanted to renew Goff for 2 years and Goff wanted 4.

Love the observations you present. We should trust what the front office is doing. They have the coaches and are drafting the players that fit the scheme, the attitude and culture.

Brad Holmes is a master of roster building

I have a really hard time comparing Rakestraw's to Mitchell 's when the MAC is so different in talent than the SEC. However, I also recall Louis Delmas being clutch in his rookie year.

I think that you will see more of the Lions trading picks to move up in the draft or in player trades. Holmes is getting to the point where there are going to be fewer and fewer draftable players due to the lack of roster holes. With fewer targeted players, keeping the picks would just be a waste, no matter how shrewd Holmes is. This will represent a switch from quantity to quality, in both trades and the draft. Beautifully uncharted territory, Lions fans! #OnePride

The stable of talent and people that have hit the field for the Lions and some of these higher paid players coming through next year as free agents could be a possibility this year or you could work out a trade for four or six rounders at that trade deadline near the end of the year if you’re developing players move up. The beauty of drafting defensive players is often times they are serviceable at their second contract and you don’t have to draft them one through 15 in the draft. Especially if you have a quarterback contract to service. If any holes show in the defense this year, I can expect those to be plugged the next year to help absorb the first year below of the contract Brown and Sewell and Goff. If the corners develop expect re sign Ifatu, and Joseph, while parting with Amik, and the Bucs kid. I am OK with paying these guys right now because the next contracts are likely Jordan love and a couple receivers throughout the division that could create a contractor as Saint Brown may be our guy, but he’s not as flashy as say Jefferson has the sycophantic lovefest of CD lamb. That could push some teams that are reliant on talent versus skiing. Take a step back.

Goff signing was always going to happen post June 1st, 2024 for overall team financial cosiderations. Length is the real issue! 🎙👍🏾👍🏾

I’m on the Iffy can be in DPOY discussions bandwagon

Last year AG and Dan wanted vets. This year the Super Bowl path is Brad's and why he put his stamp on it then stamped it again, bam, bam going 1, 2 Corner then added Vaki and Wingo. All 4 could start at some point. So funny every GM, talking head and fans were (are still :) screaming for an Edge all while Brad cleans out Canada of top talent. The Villain opening up another pipeline for Detroit. Brad is in search of the next AD and why Wingo is a Lion. This isn't your same old Lions, enjoy.

I could be wrong, but isn't Manu's massive height actually a disadvantage? Less able to get leverage, destablized center of gravity, slower footwork in tight spaces, and a little harder for Goff to see down field and pass over? I only saw one short highlight collection on him, only 3 or 4 plays against nothing competition. There was one nice pancake, the rest was just pretty good. hope I'm wrong, but I think we wasted a pick and lost another to get him.

Goff already said he has enough money for the rest of his life he wants to win now there's no way we're going to let a top 5 QB go whos willing to cut a possible brady type deal go it just wont happen

The Lions are waiting to find out if Hendon Hooker is at least as good as Goff before signing an extension. If he is, Goff will still get offered an extension but not a big one.

can you turn your sound volume up?

Decker will take less to stay, play and finish his career in the D. Carlton Davis 3rd rd pick. I think Comminsky only fell off last year because we lost DL coach Todd Wash to Carolina.

I came to know Christ in jail in 2013 by reading a book, "Overcoming spiritual blindness" by James P. Gills MD. The veil was taken off my eyes. Heaven came through for me in my finances too, getting $25,000 monthly. I can support God's work and give back to my community. God is absolutely more than enough!

I love how are drafts keep getting criticized. The arrogance like your the smartest man in the room keeps getting scrutiny. Then the season comes and it shows Holmes was the smartest man in the room. I expect by November everyone will be praising the draft class again.

Craig seems to be the only KZfaq commenter that realizes we can't pay everybody. Everybody said give Saint Brown the bag. Give Sewell the bag. Give Jared the bag. Just those three are going to (likely) take up $108 million of a $254 million cap. Nearly half. Good luck giving the "bag" to even one more player, and having the ability to have a 53-man roster. Say bye bye Hutch, Laporta, Gibbs, Williams, Branch, McNeil and the list goes on

I think Jared Goff leaves next year with Ben Johnson.

Good morning, GO LIONS !!!

If anything is making them hesitate on Goff, it's Hendon Hooker.

Brad Holmes don't care if we love a player he will offer Goff a contract and will not budge. That's the reason he drafted Hooker

People forget Goff is BH's guy he was the reason Goff was with the Rams, BH is gonna take care of Goff but at the same time be foolish.

Goff wants a longer contract Detroit doesn’t. Decker 2 year extension will come next year.

Goff can’t run and he’s in the NFL which gives pause…

Jared Goff is a great leader and makes great decisions; however, his athleticism is subpar for this league now days. He throws too many ducks and has too many balls under thrown. Also, he falls when he gets blown on. His stoic charisma and humbleness makes him a great leader. Hope we keep him, but let's see a bit of Hooker this year! One pride baby!!!

Goff is an awful QB with any pressure. Hes AMAZING when he has time but man,

Levi won't make the Team

By adding depth at positions of future needs they aren't forced into overpaying anyone on their resigning. The competition shows the staff who 'their guys' are. They have options and they have shown that they will pay their guys who produce. They are going to have to pay someone in the Secondary, with this depth of age, talent and contracts they will know where the value is.
