The Detroit Lions announced a couple of big extensions for wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and right tackle Penei Sewell on Wednesday.
Those were two deals that they wanted to get done this offseason before turning their attention to quarterback Jared Goff. They want to sign Goff but they’re not close to an extension with him yet, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter .
There is no deal “imminent” for Lions QB Jared Goff, despite the fact that WR Amon-Ra St. Brown and OT Penei Sewell now have landed new deals, per source. The Lions and Goff have spoken about a new deal this off-season, but no deal is close at this time.

Goff has one year left on a four-year $134 million extension that he signed in 2019 and is set to have a $32.3 million cap hit this year.
The Lions appear to be in no rush to get a deal done since the two sides are in a good place. Goff also loves being in Detroit so a deal should get done at some point.
Goff was one of the biggest reasons why the Lions made a run to the NFC Championship Game. He finished the season with 4,575 yards through the air, 30 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions while also completing 67.3% of his passes.
He’ll look to put up even better numbers and help the Lions to a Super Bowl when the 2024 season starts in September.
