Reports: Dolphins sign coach Mike McDaniel to extension

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has signed a multiyear contract extension through the 2028 season, multiple outlets reported Friday.

Financial terms were not revealed.

McDaniel, 41, assumed the job before the 2022 season, signing a four-year contract as he took over for the fired Brian Flores. It was the first head-coaching job for McDaniel, who was the offensive coordinator of the San Francisco 49ers when the Dolphins lured him away.

In two seasons under McDaniel, the Dolphins have posted 9-8 and 11-6 records, earning playoff berths both seasons. They lost to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round after the 2022 season and to the Kansas City Chiefs last season as a wild card.

Last season, the Dolphins ranked No. 1 in total offense and passing offense and No. 2 in scoring offense.

The Dolphins, who recently signed quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to an extension, are expected to vie with the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets for the AFC East title. Miami opens the season at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 8.

Jared Goff celebrates during the Lions' wild-card playoff win over the Rams.

Lions QB Jared Goff: ‘More fired up than ever’

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff made his goals clear on Thursday, the day the team announced his signing to a contract extension through the 2028 season.

“I’m more driven and more fired up than ever to go even harder and put the pedal to the metal even more to bring a Super Bowl to the city and that’s what’s most important,” Goff said.

The team didn’t disclose financial terms, but multiple outlets reported the four-year extension was for $212 million with $170 million guaranteed.

Goff, acquired in the 2021 trade that sent veteran QB Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams, is entering his fourth season as the starter in Detroit. In 48 regular season games with the Lions, he has completed 66.5 percent of his passes for 12,258 yards with 78 touchdowns and 27 interceptions — resulting in a 96.5 passer rating.

Among NFL QBs last season, he was first in passing first downs (227), second in passing yards (4,575), second in 20-yard completions (69) and tied for third in 300-yard games (five).

Detroit finished 12-5 last season and won its first division title in 30 years. The Lions posted playoff victories over the Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers and held a 24-7 halftime lead before falling 34-31 to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.

The Rams selected Goff with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Goff’s reported $53 million annual average value ranks second in the NFL behind Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who has a $55 million AAV. Burrow signed a five-year, $275 million deal last September.

Panthers, DT Derrick Brown agree to reported 4-year, $96M contract

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Carolina Panthers and record-setting defensive tackle Derrick Brown agreed to a multi-year contract extension.

The team announced the extension on Friday but not the financial terms. Multiple reports put the value of the four-year deal at $96 million, with $63 million guaranteed.

Among interior defensive linemen, Brown’s annual average salary of $24 million trails that of only Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs, Christian Wilkins of the Las Vegas Raiders and the Baltimore Ravens’ Justin Madubuke, per Spotrac.

Brown, who turns 26 later this month, set the NFL record last season for most tackles by a defensive lineman with 103. He was selected to his first Pro Bowl and Carolina’s new head coach, Dave Canales, retained defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero.

The No. 7 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Brown has appeared in 66 games (63 starts) over four seasons. He has tallied 245 tackles, 48 quarterback hits, eight sacks and two interceptions.

Brown will be counted on to lead the improvement on defense for the Panthers, who finished 2-15 last season.

The team begins its offseason program next week.

Browns WR Jerry Jeudy signs 3-year extension

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy signed a three-year contract extension on Tuesday.

Multiple outlets reported the contract is worth up to $58 million — including $41 million guaranteed at the signing — but details were not confirmed by the team. Jeudy was heading into the final year of his contract this season.

He was acquired by the Browns on March 9 from the Denver Broncos in exchange for fifth- and sixth-round picks (135th and 202nd overall) in the 2024 NFL Draft.

“I want to be somewhere that wants me to be there. I want to be home,” Jeudy said. “When I stepped in the building, just the energy and excitement that I received when I got there, that made me feel welcomed. I feel like it’s a fresh start. It’s going to be exciting just to be able to be somewhere new, especially having all the great guys on the team. So, it’s just going to make things a lot easier for me and just better.”

Jeudy, who turns 25 next month, is receiving a fresh start after being selected by the Broncos with the 15th overall draft pick in 2020 out of Alabama. They picked up his fifth-year contract option last May, signing him to a $12.99 million deal for 2024.

With the Browns, Jeudy will join Amari Cooper (1,250 yards, five touchdowns in 2023) and Elijah Moore (640 yards, two TDs) as a key target for quarterback Deshaun Watson.

“When we acquired Jerry via trade this spring, it was with the vision that he would become a core member of our offense in 2024 and beyond,” said Andrew Berry, the Browns executive vice president of football operations.

“He is a scheme-versatile receiver with high-level ability to separate against man coverage and a diverse number of ways to produce on the perimeter or in the slot.

“We felt that the ability to add a passionate and competitive player with his combination of strengths would be an important component of our offense now and into the future. At 24 years old and just entering his prime, we are pleased to have Jerry as a member of the Browns for the next several seasons and believe the best is yet to come.”

Last season, Jeudy appeared in 16 games (11 starts) for the Broncos and tallied 54 catches for 758 yards and two touchdowns.

In four seasons in Denver, he gained 3,053 yards on 211 receptions and added 11 touchdowns in 57 games (44 starts).

Report: Lions, QB Jared Goff to talk contract extension

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Quarterback Jared Goff has the Detroit Lions within one win of the franchise’s first Super Bowl appearance.

With Goff and the Lions preparing to play in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the host San Francisco 49ers, NFL Network reported that Detroit is expected to engage in contract extension negotiations with the quarterback during the offseason.

Per the report, the projected deal would make Goff one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league.

Goff has one year remaining on the four-year, $134 million contract extension he signed with the Los Angeles Rams in 2109 and is due to earn $26.9 million in 2024. He spent five seasons with the Rams after they made him top overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, then was traded to Detroit as part of a deal that involved fellow quarterback Matthew Stafford on March 18, 2021.

Goff, 29, recorded a career-best 67.3 completion percentage and threw for 4,575 yards with 30 touchdowns and 12 interceptions this season. He is knocking on the door of making his second Super Bowl appearance, with his first coming with the Los Angeles Rams in a 13-3 loss to the New England Patriots on Feb. 3, 2019.

In a season that saw the formerly pitiful Lions finish 12-5 and win the NFC North and two subsequent postseason games, Goff has become a fan favorite in Detroit. Fans at other sporting events — including the NBA’s Pistons and NHL’s Red Wings — have taken to chanting his name.

NFL extends commissioner Roger Goodell through March 2027

Posted on | by Field Level Media

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell received a three-year contract extension through March 2027, the league announced Wednesday.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed by the NFL.

Goodell, 64, reportedly made $63.9 million per year in 2020 and 2021. His new deal is expected to be incentive-laden and likely the most lucrative given to any commissioner based on the league’s financial success with respect to its recent media rights deals.

The Compensation Committee updated the league’s owners on Wednesday that an agreement had been reached for Goodell, who now has received four extensions since taking over for Paul Tagliabue in September 2006. The previous extensions were 2009, 2012 and 2017.

He sets the example every single day.
