Ewww

Purdy is licking his lips lol

Goff should be thanking Ben Johnson for getting paid.

Remember when everyone else thought Mahome's contract was absurd?

He graduated with honors from the Kirk Cousins School of Making a Ton of Money for No Discernible Reason.

LMAO

I guess this is pretty much the going rate, but.....nah.

Get a QB who is a good functional player.

Win games

Win enough games to get to the playoffs and lose to an elite QB or an elite team.

Be in a bad spot to draft a QB.

Pay current QB.

Tale as old as time.

Oof

The Bengals owner called with an investment offer

Or you can slam your massive hawg on the table, trade up, and draft a future GOAT.

At least they have Hendon Hooker!

Goff has been closer to winning a Super Bowl than most of the other QB’s who have gotten (over)paid.

True.

But more times than not....you're probably ending up more 9ers situation than Chiefs.

That and 2 bucks will get you a shitty cup of coffee.

Pretty much the ceiling for the Broncos after they drafted Bo Nix

I don’t know how there are even fans of other teams. I couldn’t conceivably imagine being excited about this. Goff’s a good dude and a good QB, but come on.

I do applaud the Lions for finally deciding to try and be an actual NFL franchise, though.

Recently teams have been so desperate that they’re over drafting QB’s. 6 in the first 12 picks was insane.

Thank God teams went thinking this way back in 2017

True. But...

They did the right thing moving on from Janine Garrafalo.

Will they have the balls to do it with Purdy again?

What does Tamba Hali think?

The ugly truth is that there's about 5/6 legit franchise QB's in the league at a time. If you don't have one, you're pretty much behind the 8 ball and just hoping.

I'd say 2-3 legit franchise QBs tops, then 2-3 pretenders who are mostly media creations.

Hendon Hooker you better be healthy and ready to go on your 30th birthday

In 10 years contracts will be crazy. They’re absurd as it is…

Mahomes is worth $200mm/yr easy. Glad we're getting him for a fraction of the price!

Will he earn more than Mahomes in this 4 year period if we don't restructure again?

I was reading something earlier and if I remember it correctly, the casual fan will spend upwards of $900 a year across the various subscription and streaming services to watch all of the games this season. That is nuts and it’s criminal to put playoff games on a subscription service.

One of the added benefits of being a Broncos fan. You don't need to pay to watch your team in the playoffs.

It’s hard to win SBs when 1 team, The Kansas City Chiefs, my favorite football team is winning most of them since the 2020 season.

I wonder what the straw will be that breaks the camel’s back. At some point contracts will plateau, and it’ll be interesting to see how that shakes out.

What a joke it will be when Tua gets paid.

What choice do they have? They’ll always be good enough to not get a great QB prospect.

The last regime was the one that picked Tua over Herbert

Maybe next year those scrappy Lions make the Superbowl. And the Chiefs beat them.

That would be a great honor for the city of Detroit. A true blessing.

I guess if you have to sign up for the entire 12 months?

YTTV - $75/month or $375 for September through February
Prime - $15/month or $75 September through January
Peacock - Let's pretend you have to pay $6 for 5 months.. $30.

Those 3 for the football season are $480 or $96/month (even though you could technically pause YTTV after the SB and save 2-3 weeks, and doubtful you'd need Peacock for 5 months).

I'm sure Sunday Ticket is thrown in there for many fans though.

(and **** the NFL)

Nice comeback story none the less. There's some parallels to Alex Smith.

Looks like Goff still had $27 million of cash remaining in his old contract. So it’s basically $197 million for 2024 through 2027. And a non-guaranteed team option for $42 million in the 2028 season.

I think his salary should be complete ownership of the Kansas City Chiefs.


(follow up with "he already owns several other franchises" joke)

Lulz

I'd rather have the Burrows back up. He's better than Tua.

Slap dick defending this in 3...2..1

Who is slap dick?

The season is right around 6 months long. That'd be $150/month. There is no way that data is correct.

What I don’t get is if you are a QB like Goff. In a perfect situation with a young team. Is it really crazy to take 45m a year to help the team actually win something.

We are so ****ing spoiled by Mahomes.

We keep saying that but how much better is Herbert really?

I always scoffed at Goff but he had a good year with Detroit getting away from LA was good for him. I hate him a lot less now.

From a physical ability/talent standpoint, a LOT. Like they aren't in the same zipcode.

Hope that helps slow their roster down, and ends up ruining the 9'ers squad lol

Feels like a massive overpay, even if you only account for the guaranteed $$$. Goff just isn't worth $53 million/yr.

Serious question. What team besides the Lions would pay him that?

These teams keep overpaying QBs in the hope that the money will magically turn them into Mahomes.

Out of interest, do many people in the US just get their firestick/tv box chipped for illegal streams? $900 annually is wild. $50 would get your firestick chipped in Ireland and you have access to every game of every sport televised annually.

Lol, chipped?
You can seriously download kodi from the Amazon fire stick App Store.

Believe this was the link… https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradadg...h=159ece57598b

For the less than tech savvy people get theirs 'chipped' which is loaded with an app that has every channel on earth. Most people wouldnt have a clue how to go about Kodi.

There are people walking the planet that are older than the NFL. I think Marty, Herm, and PeeHoly may have left a scar or two.

I've been on an AI kick as of late. Check this one out from Google Gemini:


who were all the kansas city chiefs general managers?

Here's a list of all the Kansas City Chiefs General Managers, including their tenures:

Don Rossi (1960): The general manager for the team's inaugural season, then called the Dallas Texans.


Jack Steadman (1961 - 1975): Held the title of Executive VP/General Manager for a significant period, overseeing the team's move to Kansas City and name change to the Chiefs.


Jim Schaaf (1976 - 1988): Served as General Manager for over a decade.


Carl Peterson (1989 - 2008): Held the title of President/General Manager, overseeing the drafting of franchise quarterback Priest Holmes and the team's run to the AFC Championship game in 2003.


Scott Pioli (2009 - 2012): Brought in players like Eric Berry and Dwayne Bowe during his tenure.


John Dorsey (2013 - 2017): Drafted key players like Patrick Mahomes during his time as GM.


Brett Veach (2017 - Present): The current General Manager, responsible for building the Super Bowl winning teams of 2020 and 2023.

You might be going in the right direction Lions, but it's okay to not pay ALL of your players in one off-season. I'm sure the players appreciate it, but lets get a resume going before we ask for the VP role.

Looking at the NFC, he's right there with the rest of the QB's.

They obviously love the guy, he seems pretty mentally tough and played well last year.

Goff isn't for everyone but I think he's a guy you can get to the dance with. That gives you a chance. Not very many I'd say that about.

Even if McCarthy sucks, the Vikes made the correct decision. Other teams are going to have to decide to make the right decision as well.

he's a solid QB, put a good team around him and you will be in contention but he's no Mahomes obviously. He is the only QB that's ever beaten Mahomes when Mahomes put up over 50 points though.

He's more deserving than a lot of the QBs that have been paid and can definitely win a SB. He's 5-4 in post season games. He has 2 NFCCG appearances and 1 SB appearance. He's averaged 4500 yds and 30 TDs his last 2 years.

Also he led last year's Lions team to it's first playoff win since 1991 and he had more playoff wins last year than the entire franchise has had from 1958-2022. The Lions have had 1 playoff win in 65 years and Goff had 2 in 1 season. Plus he's only 29 years old. The Lions have never played in an NFCCG, either. Pathetic little franchise lol.

It might be a slight over pay, but with how contracts have exploded I see no problem with it.

There's ALWAYS one.

WHAT ELSE YOU WANT THEM TO DOOOO?

Can you get to the dance once you're paying him ~50M a year?

And you don't have high draft picks?

Why not? It's not like he's shit. He's one of the top QBs in the NFC and easily one of the top 10 QBs in the league.

The cost of others around him is a GM problem they have to prove, not the QB. Most teams will have to fight not having a good QB on a rookie deal.

He has some legit young talent with Gibbs, LaPorta, and Williams.

They are still pretty young at the positions that matter on defense and they took real steps in improving that secondary this year on defense too.

Seeeeee

He’s good, not great.

He’s basically Alex Smith with a really good deep ball instead of running ability.

He can make some hell for plays but he can lose you games too.

He’s getting a bad rap because McVeigh dumped him like a Pervy 16 year old who dumped the girl who won’t put out because a slut became available. Dumb****s think that McVeigh walks on water because he made Goff look good. Then Goff looked bad. Everybody assumes it’s because Goff got lost. They can’t allow themselves to see the circular logic that maybe McVeigh was the problem. It’s way funnier to lob troll bombs that the gorilla Dan Campbell is the offensive savant because he got production out of Goff when McVeigh couldn’t.

If Goff’s coach wasn’t a complete idiot against the 49ers, Goff would have went to a Super Bowl.

Not saying he’s great and all, but it takes a village.

Stop
