Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff's rookie contract will be up at the end of the 2019 campaign, and the Rams don't seem to be in any rush to extend him. Does that mean Los Angeles is waiting for Goff to prove himself more? Hardly, says Rams head coach Sean McVay.
“I think he’s already the man. I think he’s had a lot of moments,” McVay said on The Rich Eisen Show. “His teammates believe in him, his coaches believe in him. I think it’s just continuing to do what you do at a higher level. It’s ‘Can I continue to make great decisions? Can I continue to make throws with accuracy and anticipation?’ I think the thing that was great about him really from the first year we were together to last year is the ownership. We talk about the quarterback being an extension of the coaching staff and I think he did that.”
The Rams can always exercise Goff's fifth-year option, which could also keep him under contract for the 2020 season, but talks have been awful quiet on that front thus far.
Goff is coming off of a terrific 2018 campaign in which he threw for 4,688 yards, 32 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions while completing 64.9 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 101.1 en route to a Pro Bowl appearance.
However, he had a rather rough Super Bowl, completing just 19 of his 38 passes for 229 yards and a pick in the Rams' 13-3 loss to the New England Patriots.
The 24-year-old was chosen by Los Angeles with the top overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.
