Lions Restructure Jared Goff's Contract, Create $32 Million in 2026 Cap Space

Wednesday, March 11, 6:32 AM

The Detroit Lions have restructured quarterback Jared Goff's contract to create $32 million in 2026 cap space, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Detroit's maneuvering could mean that the team is looking to make a big splash, although most of the league's top free agents have already come off the board. The Lions have needs at premium defensive positions such as edge rusher and cornerback. However, the team's biggest hole may be at left tackle, as Detroit released longtime starter Taylor Decker earlier this offseason. It's not entirely clear what the Lions' plans are, and they could simply be looking to create more flexibility for a series of smaller moves. The 31-year-old Goff remains under contract with the team through 2028 and appears to be locked in as the team's QB1 for at least the next few seasons.

Mac Jones' Price on Trade Market Described as "Astronomical"

Tuesday, March 10, 11:11 AM

A few teams have called the San Francisco 49ers about quarterback Mac Jones, but many interested teams around the league described the price as "astronomical," according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. The 49ers don't have much incentive to move Jones, who filled in nicely with Brock Purdy missing plenty of time last year with a turf-toe injury. The 27-year-old went 5-3 as a starter while throwing for 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns, and six interceptions in 11 total games played. The Niners signed Jones to a two-year, $8.4 million deal last offseason, so he has become an excellent value as the backup for the oft-injured Purdy. The 49ers will have to be blown away by a trade offer to even consider moving Jones as he heads into the final year of his deal. The former first-rounder in 2021 by the New England Patriots out of Alabama has become one of the more steady backup options in the NFL.
