Jared Goff doesn’t want to relive Rams trade but adds ‘the sourness is there still’

LA Times  

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff welcomes teammates onto the field before a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The former Rams quarterback, who returns to SoFi Stadium with the Detroit Lions on Sunday, said Wednesday he appreciated Rams coach Sean McVay saying he could have better handled the lead-up to the trade that sent Goff to the Lions for quarterback Matthew Stafford. “It still happened the way it did, but I do appreciate him saying that and got all the respect in the world for them over there.” But throughout his weekly news conference, Goff dropped several not-so-subtle hints that the sting of trade, and the way McVay and the Rams handled it, lingers. On Wednesday, Goff said, “reliving all of that is, to me, irrelevant.” Goff emphasized he had great memories, friendships and lifelong bonds from his time with the Rams. “He’s a quality, class act — he’s always going to be honest,” McVay said Wednesday before practice, adding that Goff was a “great kid, he’s a great guy.
