The Detroit Lions may need to make a decision on their future with quarterback Jared Goff after an early playoff exit.

Goff’s 4,629 yards were second only to Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (4,918). Burrow is also a finalist for the award, along with Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff and Dan Campbell have been named finalists for MVP and Coach of the Year, respectively.

Goff signed a four-year, $212 million contract extension in November 2024, three years after his trade from the Rams. The Lions cannot cut Goff at a financial gain until 2026, per Over The Cap. A post-June 1 designation then would save $35 million with $34.6 million in dead money.

When asked who their No. 2 receiver would be for the playoffs, the Bills simply answered “No” in the Wild Card Round. Khalil Shakir ran 72 percent of the routes while no other Buffalo wideout topped a 53 percent route rate. Cooper finished fifth among the team’s receivers in route rate at 41 percent. He earned a measly three targets.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been named a finalist for the NFL MVP, the league announced on Thursday.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen got the better of Baltimore Ravens counterpart Lamar Jackson last Sunday when their respective teams battled in the AFC divisional round in Orchard Park, N.Y.
