specifically our very own Jared Goff back in May the Detroit Lions made Headlines by agreeing to a 4-year $212 million extension with golf it was a major move at the time but fast forward a few months and several quarterbacks like Trevor Lawrence Tu aago vioa and Jordan love have already surpassed goff's annual salary with new deals of their own and just this Sunday Dak Prescott joined at list with a massive new contract according to multiple reports the Dallas Cowboys and Prescott agreed to a 4-year $240 million extension Prescott used his leverage brilliantly just like he did during his last contract negotiation and now he's sitting at the top of the Heap with an average of $60 million per year this brings us to an interesting comparison gof and Prescott were both drafted in 2006 16 Goff was the number one overall pick by the Rams while Prescott was a fourth rounder for the Cowboys although Goff didn't start immediately like Prescott their careers have been intertwined since then making it easy to analyze their performances side by side Dak Prescott's contract proves Jared gof steel is a bargain for the Lions Lions general manager Brad Holmes has made it clear that he prefers to lock in big contracts earlier rather than later and this offseason was a perfect example H secured major deals for golf a monor a St Brown py isul and is expected to do the same for Taylor Decker soon defensive tackle Alam mcneel could also be next on the list this proactive strategy has paid off especially when you look at how the market for wide receivers has exploded since St Brown signed his deal in April when comparing gof and Prescott's stats the numbers are surprisingly close Prescott has a slight Edge in overall postseason stats but when it comes to actually winning what it matters most G has the upper hand gof has started nine playoff games with a 5 to4 record including a Super Bowl appearance and two NFC championship games Prescott on the other hand has started seven playoff games with a two to five record Goff even won the hitto hit playoff matchup against Prescott when the Rams beat the Cowboys in the 2018 divisional round and while Prescott has never made it past the divisional round Goff has been there done that reaching the NFC title game twice to put it in perspective G won as many playoff games last season as Prescott has in his entire career sure team context plays a role in these outcomes but the difference in their playoff performances speaks volumes as always the quarterback Market keeps Rising every time a new deal is signed it either matches or surpasses the previous one Prescott $60 million Pere deal was inevitable once the Cowboys got serious about extending him but here's the kicker the Lions didn't wait to get goff's deal done and now as more quarterback deals are signed goff's contract looks more and more like a steal for Detroit When comparing Jared Goff and Dak Prescott their postseason records reveal a noteworthy contrast despite their similar statistical production Prescott holds a slight Edge in overall postseason statistics but GF has proven to be more successful in critical moments GF has started nine playoff games accumulating a 5 to4 record which includes a Super Bowl appearance and two NFC championship games Prescott meanwhile has started seven playoff games with a two to five record and has yet to advance past the divisional round in their head-to head playoff matchup Goff led the Rams to a victory over Prescott's Cowboys in the 2018 divisional round this difference in playoff success is significant G's ability to advance deep into the postseason including multiple NFC Championship appearances contrast sharply with Prescott's struggles to get past the divisional round last season alone gof secured as many playoff wins as Prescott has throughout his entire career highlighting the Gap in their postseason achievements while Team Dynamics certainly contribute to these results G's playoff performance Under Pressure stands out as for their contracts quarterback salaries in the NFL continue to rise and Prescott's recent extension which averages $6 million per year reflects that Trend however the Lions secured golf on a deal that is increasingly looking like a bargain as quarterback contracts sore the value Detroit is getting from G's contract given his playoff track record and overall performance has positioned them favorably in a rising quarterback Market NFL quarterback salary are consistently trending upward with Dak Prescott's recent extension averaging $60 million per year perfectly reflecting this reality however the Detroit Lions appear to have struck gold with Jared goff's contract which is now looking more and more like a steal as the market for quarterbacks continues to inflate goff's contract originally seen as a hefty deal when it was signed now offers considerable value when compared to newer more expensive quarterback deals this is particularly significant given gol's solid playoff performance and experience with his track record including a Super Bowl appearance and multiple deep playoff runs goff's contract allows Detroit to maintain flexibility while still Fielding a proven leader the lions are reaping the benefits of locking in a competent quarterback at a price that in today's market feels like a bargain as quarterback
