Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has agreed to a four-year, $212million extension, making him the best paid player in franchise history.
Last season, Goff led the Lions to the brink of the Super Bowl before the team lost the Conference Championship game to the San Francisco 49ers.
The terms of the deal can see Goff earn $53m-a-year - more than Patrick Mahomes currently takes home at $45m-a-season on his 10-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Last week, Lions GM Brad Holmes said a new extension for Goff was a high priority for him.
'He's earned an extension,' Holmes said in a radio interview with 97.1 The Ticket. 'It's important.

'It's a high priority for us. Both sides are working really, really hard. These things just take time.'
Goff has been closing in on the final season of a four-year, $134m contract he signed before he was traded to Detroit in the QB swap that sent Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams. The extension has been in the works for months.
A former No. 1 overall pick Goff, who turns 30 in October, averaged $33.5million annually on his existing contract while the market has exploded since massive deals last offseason raised the bar beyond $50million per season.
The top-paid quarterback in terms of average pay per season is Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals at $55 million.
He has $1.01 million more in guaranteed salary than the Los Angeles Chargers gave Justin Herbert, whose AAV is $52.5 million, in the same neighborhood but just ahead of Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles) and Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens).
