This offseason, the Detroit Lions rewarded their star players, giving contract extensions to quarterback Jared Goff, offensive tackle Penei Sewell, and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. And it sounds like Goff is very pleased with the team’s efforts to reward the important players on the team and keep the core of the roster together.
During a recent press conference, Jared Goff had some high praise for the way the Lions handled the offseason and how they prioritized rewarding their top players.
“I think that is important,” Goff said according to Pro Football Talk. “I think the Lions, I think they recognize that upstairs and know that we have three players that were due for a new deal and took care of them. And I think that potential free agents see that, and potential draft picks in the future see that and they know that if you play well, you are taken care of.”
Goff, Sewell, and St. Brown were the core of the team last season as they helped lead the Lions to the NFC Championship game where they fell narrowly against the San Francisco 49ers. The team clearly has its sights set on a potential Super Bowl berth this season.
