In an exciting development for the Detroit Lions, quarterback Jared Goff has made it clear that he wants to remain with the team and is eager to work out a contract extension. Goff, who arrived at the Lions' training facility this week for the offseason training program, expressed his love for the city and his desire to be a part of the team for the long haul.

Speaking to the media on Tuesday, the 29-year-old veteran shared his enthusiasm for playing in front of the passionate Lions fans and contributing to a winning culture. Goff emphasized that despite recent successes, both he and the team are far from satisfied and are focused on what lies ahead.

While discussions regarding a contract extension are ongoing, Goff mentioned that his agent is actively engaged in negotiations with Lions General Manager Brad Holmes. The quarterback's positive remarks reflect his trust in the process and the team's commitment to securing his future with the franchise.

Goff's impressive performance last season played a pivotal role in the Lions' success. He led the team to two playoff victories, marking the first time since 1957 that the Lions had achieved such a feat. Additionally, Goff guided the team to their first conference championship game since 1991.

Over the course of his three seasons in Detroit, Goff has amassed impressive statistics, passing for 12,258 yards and 78 touchdowns with just 27 interceptions. The quarterback credited his growth and development to the support of his teammates and coaches, highlighting the fun and challenging journey he has experienced with the Lions.

Under Goff's leadership, the Lions have achieved remarkable success, setting franchise records for most victories in any two-season span, with 21 wins. Furthermore, their 12 wins in 2023 tied the highest number of wins in a single season in franchise history, matched only by the 1991 campaign.

Lions General Manager Brad Holmes, during a news conference earlier this year, expressed his unwavering belief in Goff's abilities, praising his talent, leadership, and mental and physical toughness. He commended the quarterback's achievements and reiterated his pride in Goff's accomplishments.

Since his trade from the Los Angeles Rams in 2021, Goff has thrived under the mentorship of Lions coach Dan Campbell and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. The quarterback acknowledged his growth in various aspects of the game and credited his increased comfort level to their guidance.

As negotiations continue, the Lions and Jared Goff are optimistic about reaching a contract extension that will solidify his future with the team. The quarterback's desire to remain in Detroit, coupled with his on-field success and the team's belief in his abilities, bodes well for a fruitful relationship moving forward.
