A person familiar with the situation says the Detroit Lions and quarterback Jared Goff have agreed to a $212 million, four-year contract extension. The person told The Associated Press on Monday that the deal includes $170 million in guarantees and spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms were not announced. Goff ended the Motor City’s decades-long search for a playoff-winning quarterback in January. He helped the Lions earn two playoff victories in one postseason for the first time since winning the 1957 NFL title.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Antoine Winfield Jr. have reached agreement on a four-year, $84.1 million deal, agent David Mulugheta announced Monday. The deal makes Winfield the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history — the first time in modern NFL history that a safety has set this mark. Winfield’s deal includes $45 million guaranteed, the most ever given to a safety. Mulugheta posted to Instagram a screengrab of his call to Winfield and congratulated his client.
