Newest NFL Signings and Updates During an Exciting Week of Play
Last week in the NFL, besides the exciting release of the 2024 season schedule, there were various noteworthy updates. Teams are busy finalizing their rosters, with rookie camps underway and training camp approaching.
One significant story was quarterback Jared Goff’s massive contract extension with the Detroit Lions, reportedly worth $212 million over four years, with $170 million guaranteed. Goff, who led the Lions to their first playoff victory in over three decades, has steadily improved, earning praise in Detroit and positioning the team as a Super Bowl contender.
Additionally, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secured star safety Antoine Winfield Jr. with a historic four-year, $84.1 million deal, making him the first safety to reach such a milestone. Winfield Jr., instrumental in the Buccaneers’ previous Super Bowl win, strengthens their defense.
Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills signed former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million, adding depth to their receiving corps.
Lastly, Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive standout Cam Heyward skipped voluntary workouts in pursuit of a new contract, breaking his streak of never missing an offseason program and signaling his seriousness about renegotiation.
