Jared Goff has one of the weirdest careers of any quarterback in the NFL right now. He’s been both a scrappy underdog and a former No. 1 pick.
He’s often talked about as though he’s damaged goods or limited, yet he’s played in a Super Bowl and came very close to getting back at the end of the 2023 season.
Ahead of the 2026 season, Goff restructured his deal to create $32 million in extra cap room for Detroit. The Lions odds are near the top of the NFC table, but they likely needed that spending flexibility to upgrade the roster and get back to competing at the top of the conference.
