BREAKING: Angeles Rams key Star Refuses contract extension, Says he wants to leave.
Matthew Stafford earning Jared Goff-sized extension
earlier this week. On May 16, the Lions signed Goff to a four year $212 million extension which will include $170 million guaranteed. Goff’s extension dwarfed the $160 million Matthew Stafford received from LA in 2022.
With that in mind, should the Rams sign the Super Bowl champ to an extension that matches Goff’s? LA fans are largely against Stafford receiving a monster extension as only 31% of them would approve of such a deal.

earlier this week. On May 16, the Lions signed Goff to a four year $212 million extension which will include $170 million guaranteed. Goff’s extension dwarfed the $160 million Matthew Stafford received from LA in 2022.

Regardless of what the fanbase might think of Jared Goff, he deserved his extension given his recent work in the Motor City. In 2023, Goff guided the Lions to a 12-5 season, leading the franchise to its first-ever NFC North title and an appearance in the NFC Championship.
The former first-overall pick resurrected his career in Detroit and we’re about to find out whether he lives up to this contract.
As for Stafford, I would agree with the fans who are against him earning a Goff-sized extension. Stafford is not worth over $50 million a year at this stage of his career. The Georgia product is 36 years old and has a concerning injury history. Since signing his contract extension with LA, Stafford has missed nine games, including half of the 2022 campaign.
Giving a signal caller a contract like Goff at his age would be a dangerous risk for the Rams front office. Despite playing like a top-five QB when healthy, this should not be a discussion. I love Matthew Stafford but Les Snead must resist the temptation.
