Goff is now the highest-paid player in Lions history, a mark he earned after helping lead the squad to a historic season that ended with an NFC title game appearance. 

Goff will be making $53 million per season on this new extension, which makes him the second highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, only behind Cincinnati Bengals signal caller Joe Burrow, who makes $55 million. 

He also joins his top receiver, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and his right tackle, Penei Sewell, who both received long-term extensions this offseason. St. Brown got four years and $120.1 million, which is the second-most for an NFL receiver behind Philadelphia Eagles top option A.J. Brown, while Sewell got four years and $112 million.
