Just Want A Title Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 1 hour ago, Louis Friend said: I think Goff, ARSB and Sewell all get new contracts/extensions soon. Jared Goff's extension needs to get done first to reduce his 2024 cap hit in order to help pay for the first year of the ARSB extension. I don't know about Penei Sewell but getting an extension done for Taylor Decker could give us some 2024 cap relief also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superduperman Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 4/120, 77m guaranteed (initial reports) that is some dough to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Done deal. I didn’t think it’d get done redraft but I’m pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Wow, that is huge. Will be crazy to see JJ's and Chase's extensions. Similarly Waddle will need one soon and interesting to see if the Dolphins will pay both Hill and Waddle. Also interested to see if Tee Higgins gets a huge deal in free agency and what Brandon Ayuik's next deal looks like now. CeeDee Lamb will also be a FA next year and likely get over this. Him being the highest paid WR now may sound crazy but he will be 3rd or 4th relatively soon. Tyreke had the same AAV but less guaranteed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Also, its sort of crazy because he is the first Lion to get a big second contract since Ragnow. We haven't re-signed many of our own to second contracts since Barry retired so its nice to have another cornerstone finally or three or four (Sewell, ARSB, Hutch, Laporta). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 (edited) I think it was Rap but someone was on McAfee and said it basically breaks down to $28M each of the first 3 years. I don’t mind that. We knew he’d be in that $27-30 million range. He’s a 4th rd pick who was an all pro while making very little money and is a pillar of the team. He’s earned every penny. He, Sewell and Hutch will be our building blocks for the next 4-8 years at least. Edited April 24 by Louis Friend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or he will be extended again but I think the void years are more likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was having doubts this week but good to see Knowing something was going to happen and doubting it was going to happen are two mutually exclusive thoughts. The Sun God has been woefully underpaid in his time as a pro. Glad to see he got his payday and glad he's going to be around a while longer. He's an example of a guy who has earned it and should have younger guys emulating him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashtagFTW Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 The only way the lions can keep paying their own players like this while remaining contenders is if they continue to have exceptional drafts. What Amon is now getting paid and what Goff and Sewell are about to get paid makes our window considerably smaller, unfortunately. So the pressure is on Brad Holmes.

I mean, the Eagles are an example of another team that's doing this, too. Like you said, you just have to hit on the draft. But that also means you might not resign some more "fringe" guys like Barnes or Melifonwu next year. McNeil could go either way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
