Sad News:am not playing again,Lions’ Jared Goff has terminated his contract
|Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff made waves when he suggested in a recent podcast appearance that certain members of the Detroit media seem to “take pleasure in negativity” when covering the team. However, Goff clarified during a conversation with ESPN’s Eric Woodyard on Tuesday that he has encountered “a lot of positivity” since officially joining the Lions in March 2021.
Addressing his earlier remarks, Goff explained that his comments may have
been misconstrued and were in response to a specific question posed during a press conference. He emphasized that he
was not implying there is no positive news coverage but rather expressing his observation that some individuals may
focus more on negative news. Goff added that this phenomenon is not unique to Detroit and may occur elsewhere as well.
Goff highlighted during the podcast and in his conversation with Woodyard a specific instance when he was asked
before the NFC Championship Game about the San Francisco 49ers’ array of star players. He noted that earlier in
January, he played a role in the Lions securing their first playoff victory since January 1992.
“I was referring to our local situation, but I think it’s applicable worldwide,” Goff explained to Woodyard. “Not to
make it too broad, but it wasn’t just about Detroit; it’s the media landscape, particularly in sports and the NFL, where
sensationalism often prevails. Maybe I should have been more specific about that.”
One of the main uncertainties surrounding the Lions heading into the
upcoming draft is Goff’s contract situation, as he enters the final year of
his current deal. Goff has expressed his desire to remain with Detroit beyond the 2024 season.
“I’m just focused on the essentials—improving, helping our team win games,
advancing further than last year, and aiming to be the last team standing,” Goff commented on steering clear of
distractions related to a potential contract extension. “That’s my sole focus.”
Goff also acknowledged on Tuesday that the Lions face significant work ahead,
given the elevated expectations following a successful season. As of Tuesday afternoon, DraftKings Sportsbook had
Detroit tied for fourth among the betting favorites, with odds of +1200, to win Super Bowl LIX in February 2025.
