The Detroit Lions are scheduled to face the Kansas City Chiefs in the team's opening game on September 7. Until then, quarterback Jared Goff and the rest of Dan Campbell's team are settling in to their offseason roles.

Rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker got an injury update Lions fans will love. Amon-Ra St. Brown addressed the Lions' preseason hype recently.

Detroit's main man at quarterback, Goff, is in the process of completing an unbelievable purchase that will take him far away from the Motor City, however. It was revealed recently that Goff has purchased a $10.5 million mansion in Manhattan Beach, California.

The mansion was once occupied by none other than former NBA superstar and current broadcasting superstar Shaquille O'Neal, adding to the intrigue surrounding Goff's purchase.

The Lions play in downtown Detroit, adding to questions surrounding why Goff would purchase a home so far away from where he currently plays.

“Why would he buy a house in California?” one fan asked on NFL Twitter. “Saw this joint in real life, it’s crazy!” another fan said. “Living his best life,” another fan added.

The Lions are expected to bring back one of the best offenses in the National Football League this season.

Star rookie defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson had 9.5 sacks for the Lions and easily could have had more.
