Why Baker Mayfield's contract means the QB market could burst (Jared Goff, Detroit Lions: Goff got his extension in the offseason of 2024, when quarterbacks such as Lawrence and Tua Tagovailoa were getting contracts. Goff's came in at $53 million per year in new money -- just under what is now the Baker line. Goff has been to the Super Bowl with the Rams and got close with the Lions, who have a record of 50-35-1 in games he has started for them. Signed through 2028, he's set to earn $55 million this year, $40 million next year and $47 million in 2028. At this time, $18 million of his 2027 compensation is guaranteed. Is he over the Baker line? Probably right on it, if not a little bit over. But this is another situation that likely depends on what happens this season. How the Lions feel about Goff and the state of their championship window in general next February will go a long way in determining how motivated they are to extend his contract, which has two years left, no matter how he plays at age 32.): https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/49915176/quarterback-contract-market-baker-mayfield-extensions
