Rodrigue: By trading Jared Goff for Matthew Stafford, Rams send clear messages

New York Times  

There are a few ways to look at the Rams’ blockbuster trade for Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, which will send Jared Goff, first-round draft picks in 2022 and 2023 and a third-round pick this year to Detroit. And, because of the way the Rams’ personnel people structured Goff’s four-year, $134 million contract extension in 2019, the Rams will carry approximately $22 million in dead-cap money in 2021, plus another $8 million because they cut running back Todd Gurley last year. McVay especially became frustrated with Goff’s turnovers — 38 in his last 31 regular-season games, the most in the NFL during that span — and even issued public criticism of Goff for the first time after the Rams lost to San Francisco in Week 12. A little over a week later, after the Rams lost to the Packers in the divisional round, NFL Network’s Steve Wyche reported that, according to a source, the McVay and Goff “marriage” was in need of some “counseling.” And that made McVay’s excitement about Wolford, who started in place of the injured Goff in Week 17 and vs. Seattle, feel downright predictive of Saturday night’s trade.
