ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Fresh off officially inking his new four-year, $212 million contract extension on Thursday morning, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff spent a couple of minutes thanking those close to him.

Goff's fiancé, Christen Harper, joined him at the Lions practice facility as he spoke to media members about the new deal where he noted "security" and his no-trade clause as the biggest things he was considering during the process.

The deal negotiated by Goff's agent, Ryan Tollner of Excel Sports Management, also includes a $73 million signing bonus -- the largest in NFL history.
