What does a Goff extension look like?

Full Kool Aid Dream here…

Goff has Weapunz, and tears it up. 4500 66% 34 TD 11 picks.

Homie has to keep Ms. Jigglypuffs in barely there bikinis…so time for an extension…

He is age 28 this year. Extension length, 3 new years on top of the 2 existing, so to end of age 33…keeps his prime here.

Can we spread any new signing bonus over the two existing years of 23 and 24?

Can we modify his $5m roster bonuses currently due in 23 and 24?

Can we get his 23 and 24 cap numbers of 30.65 and 31.65 down much?

Hmmm…wish I was smart like @DeadStroke

OR keep him with no extension and tag him twice. OR, even with a great season, wait to extend until he is actually in a contract year. No hurry here, keep your cards close.

IMO a good year from Goff this fall just warrants another year for him to prove it. If he doesn’t play good this season then we move on somehow.

We have to make sure this year isn’t a fluke before giving him the “franchise” label. If he plays well 2 years in a row, then that’s probably all I need to see to hand over the contract extension, but I don’t even want to think about extending him until I see franchise QB play out of him for the next 2 seasons.

I don’t want to have him play well this year, then extend him, and then find out that this year was the fluke good year and then be tied to his new bad contract.

Probably $0 signing bonus with $0 annual for 0 years.

I think Goff is a fine player who might be able to fetch us a draft pick of average nature. But our QB of the future will be in next years draft.

I’d wait. Lions have this year + 2 more + tag option. I hated the Rams contract with him coming off the superbowl even as a fan. It was just so limited when they still had 2 years left back then.

I like Casanova Jack’s approach

Really, it’s just because we have him wrapped up now for 5 years if we choose. In the end I hope he gets paid plenty, because it means he was our guy all along.

Another angle of this is that I believe hes quite expensive in 2023 so if they extend him they could probably lower his cap hit and give us more flexibility for a big run….
Obviously, this all only matters if he has a good year and looks like our QB of the future…

As president of the Don’t-Extend-Hock-This-Year PAC, you’ve identified another income steam for me, Weasel. I thank you from the bottom of my wallet…

If Goff is extended at any point before the 2024-25 season I will be pissed. I just can’t see this guy as a QB you can commit to long term at this point. One season isn’t going to change that for me personally. Now if he shows enough to again be our starter in 2023, then takes us to the playoffs and wins a game, then I can probably live with an extension.

I’m really hoping we are adding our QB of the future in next years draft. Regardless of the upcoming season Goff has.

I’ll leave that question to Christen Harper. I really don’t want to know.

I always recommend that before marriage. I don’t think she’ll wait 5 years though.

So let’s be clear….

assuming 4,500 plus yards and 32 plus tds with 66% and 12 or less ints- WE DONT CONSIDER EXTENDING HIM….?

I guess it’s super easy to find pro bowl QBs in their prime with proven playoff experience?

You just posted Kirk Cousin numbers. Are you cool with that being your QB for the next decade?

Stats do not tell the entire story of how good a QB is.

Yes to all the above . . . if he put up those numbers this year, we’d probably be looking at $45M per year on an extension and maybe it would look something like this:

Signing
Signing/ Base Roster Total Cash Bonus Salary
Year Option Salary Bonus Bonuses Paid Amortization Cap Charge
2021 20,000,000 5,650,000 - - 25,650,000 5,000,000 10,650,000
2022 - 10,650,000 15,500,000 15,500,000 26,150,000 5,000,000 31,150,000
2023 40,000,000 1,300,000 - - 41,300,000 13,000,000 14,300,000
2024 25,000,000 2,000,000 - 27,000,000 19,250,000 21,250,000
2025 - 36,000,000 - - 36,000,000 14,250,000 50,250,000
2026 - 38,000,000 - - 38,000,000 14,250,000 52,250,000
2027 - 40,000,000 5,000,000 5,000,000 45,000,000 14,250,000 59,250,000
Total 85,000,000 133,600,000 20,500,000 20,500,000 239,100,000 85,000,000 239,100,000

$135M/3yr extension ($45M APY). 2023 and 2024 would be guaranteed and 2025 would be essentially guaranteed. You’d drop the cap hits by $16M (2023) and $10M (2024).

Just my Silly Wild Ass Guess

I’d like to see 4 hours of weight lifting and resistance training per week written into the contract.
Can they make that type of addendum?

First off- I love Goffs attitude and personality, and can’t stand cousins… so it’s not quite the same-

That said with a decent D and run game in 19’- the Vikes went to the playoffs… the last 2 years they ranked 23-24 or worse in OL and D… mid pack rushing they were just under .500…… a lot like Stafford in Detroit in years with no help.

QB is a severely overrated position when it comes to “play making” … similar to goalie. Give a really good goalie a clean crease, and zero breakaways and he probably wins a lot and allows few goals- give the same goalie a bunch of re-directs in front of the net and 2-1 breaks and fans will complain-

Goff is likable, a leader, and more than talented enough- had Goff played with the cast Stafford had, he likely would have won a ring too…. He almost won one against better opponents and with a lesser cast

Ideally, he plays well enough that we let him play out his final two years on his contract. If he doesn’t, I hope he still plays well enough that a QB struggling team might we willing to trade for him and we can go get a young Franchise QB.

I’m pretty sure he’ll find a way to be lifting weights and doing body weight resistance training during the week…

Dudes getting that $40M cheese are mobile running QBs though…3 years may increase the AAV, sure. But man, I’d like to see it closer to 3/$110…but I’m just a cheap ass…
