Jared Goff came to the Detroit Lions through a trade with the Los Angeles Rams. But even though that clearly worked out well for him, it doesn’t sound like he wants to get traded against his will again.
Goff recently signed a massive new contract extension with the Detroit Lions that will pay him about $148 million in guaranteed money. But Goff says he wasn’t really worried all that much about the money. Instead, he was worried about making sure that he had the stability of having a no-trade clause in his contract.
“It was mostly security,” Goff said according to Pro Football Talk. “You can go back and forth on the numbers and whatnot, and that wasn’t really the thing that was ever something extremely concerned with. The security, the no-trade clause and all that stuff — knowing that was in there. Feeling secure and knowing that I can now put that behind me and be excited about what’s to come.”
With the no-trade clause in his new contract, this is obviously a pretty clear message from Goff to the Lions that he has no intention of leaving and wants to be a round for the foreseeable future.
