Dan Campbell Addresses Jared Goff’s Future With Lions
Jared Goff is entering his third season as the Lions‘ starting quarterback, and coach Dan Campbell seems to be deeply committed to the former No. 1 draft pick.
Goff told ESPN he “would love to” make Goff the team’s long-term quarterback.
“There’s nothing that tells me he can’t be,” Campbell said. “When you have a quarterback you believe in, why would you ever move on? I get there are other circumstances, but it’s hard to find quarterbacks in this league. We’ve got a guy we can win with right now. We’re fortunate to have him; that’s how I see it.”
Goff signed a four-year contract extension while with the Rams in 2019. That pact kicked in when his rookie deal expired following the ’20 season.
He’s currently set to become a free agent after the ’24 season. This means Campbell and the Lions front office don’t have to make a decision about Goff any day soon, but it sounds like the coach has already made up his mind.
The 28-year-old Goff enjoyed a resurgent 2022 season, recording 4,438 passing yards, 29 touchdown passes and seven interceptions. He ranked sixth in the league in passing yards and seventh in passer rating (99.3) last season.
