A fresh start for the former 2016 concept pick
Former Marshal of Los Angeles Rams, Jared Goff, submits itself as a bargaining chip Matthew Stafford but he is enthusiastic about what he can do in such a place Detroit Lions.
“I’m just excited to be in a place where I know I’m appreciated,” said Goff NFL Network.
Rams traded Goff, the first two rounds and another third round, to bring Los Angles to Stafford.
Goff, after losing Super Bowl LIII, was never the same and his performance at Rams went downhill. Coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead, before closing the Lions deal, declined to point out that the 26-year-old quarterback was firmly in the Los Angeles franchise.
Lions will have a cap of $ 27 million on Goff’s salary by 2021Spotrac said, but his contract will become more flexible in the future. The cap hit will drop to 15.5 million next year and a potential penalty-free cut in 2023.
Goff left a career of 42-27 points for the Rams, who selected him as the first overall pick in 2016 after moving from 15th to first place in that draft. In 31 games as a starter, Goff threw for 42 touchdown passes and 29 interceptions.
And while his start in the NFL was very good, Goff has turned the ball 38 times in the past two seasons, the second highest in the NFL in that period. With him at the helm, Rams lost to the Green Bay Packers in the division round in the playoffs. The team was limited to 18 points with Goff throwing 174 yards and a touchdown.
