Around the NFL: Jared Goff

The Lions signed Jared Goff to a huge new contract extension this week. Even Detroit couldn't have imagined it would work out this well for them when they took his previous contract off the Rams' hands in the Matthew Stafford deal. But Goff has been a lot better than anyone anticipated.   more »

Factoid: Pocket passers

Working on the quarterbacks, I am reminded that I like quarterbacks who can move. You get a quarterback who might run for 600-plus yards and a half dozen touchdowns, and there’s more potential to maybe land something special. There’s a limited ceiling with the guys who need to do it all through the air.   more »

Fantasy Index Weekly: Championship Game Preview: Detroit Lions

Overview: There's not a lot of relevant history between these teams. You have to go back 40 years to find a playoff game (in 1983, San Francisco beat a Billy Sims-led Lions team 24-23, on a late Joe Montana to Freddie Solomon touchdown). Just one regular-season meeting the last five years (In 2021, Jimmy Garoppolo outdueled Jared Goff 41-33 in a season-opener at Ford Field).  more »

Factoid: Rebound quarterbacks

When the NFC playoffs commence next week, the matchup of Jordan Love and Brock Purdy -- who've just completed their first full seasons as starters -- will probably get the most attention. But the second-chance matchup of Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff interests me most.   more »

Lions QB Sudfeld has torn ACL, will miss 2023 season

Detroit Lions quarterback NATE SUDFELD reportedly tore the ACL in his left knee in the team’s preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers and is expected to miss the 2023 season. HeadMore coach Dan Campbell said on Monday that Sudfeld was undergoing further testing to confirm the extent of the injury. The Lions signed veteran quarterback TEDDY BRIDGEWATER earlier this month to be JARED GOFF’s backup after Sudfeld filled that role last season. With Sudfeld out, the Lions could keep undrafted rookie ADRIAN MARTINEZ as their No. 3 quarterback. Detroit also has rookie quarterback HENDON HOOKER, who is expected to open the year on the non-football injury list (NFI) as he continues to recover from the torn ACL he suffered last fall in college.

Detroit hosts free agent QB Bridgewater

The Detroit Lions hosted veteran quarterback TEDDY BRIDGEWATER on a visit on Monday. While no signing is imminent, Bridgewater is considered the top backup quarterback still on the market. The LionsMore return JARED GOFF as their unquestioned starter and the team also re-signed NATE SUDFELD to a one-year deal in free agency. The Lions spent a third-round pick on quarterback HENDON HOOKER in April’s NFL Draft, but he is expected to spend much of the season recovering from an ACL injury. Bridgewater makes sense as a backup option for a Lions team expected to contend for the NFC title this year. Less

Around the NFL: Jared Goff

Jared Goff has long been a lightly regarded quarterback. The Rams gave up some quality draft picks primarily to dump his contract on the Lions a couple of years ago. He won't attract much interest in fantasy drafts, either. But perhaps he should.   more »

Lions rookie QB Hooker headed for “redshirt” year

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said earlier this week that rookie quarterback HENDON HOOKER will take “a redshirt year” this fall. The Lions drafted Hooker in the third-round of lastMore month’s NFL Draft despite him coming off a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee suffered in a mid-November college game. The Lions plan to move forward at this point with JARED GOFF, 28, who still has two years left on his current contract and could be in line for an extension. Less

Lions set to roll with Goff as quarterback in 2023

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said after his team narrowly missed the postseason on Sunday that quarterback JARED GOFF is “a perfect fit for what we do and what weMore ask”. Campbell put Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers in Goff’s hands, and his signal-caller delivered. Goff finished the year throwing 324 straight passes without an interception and could break the NFL record (404 attempts) early next season. Less
