Report: Rams sign Jared Goff to four-year extension

The Los Angeles Rams didn’t seem to be in a hurry to get an extension done with franchise quarterback Jared Goff this past offseason.

With less than a week to go before their season opener, that’s about to change. According to NFL Media’s Mike Silver, Los Angeles is closing in on an extension with Goff.

Rams QB Jared Goff has agreed to a four-year contract extension with the team that drafted him first overall in 2016. He will now be signed through the 2023 season.

Silver’s colleague over at NFL Media, Ian Rapoport, notes that the deal is expected to be worth north of $32 million annually.

Meanwhile, ESPN’s Adam Schefter notes that the deal is as good as done.

This would put Goff on par with fellow 2016 draftee, Carson Wentz, who inked a four-year, $128 million extension with the Philadelphia Eagles during the offseason.

Goff, 24, has put up a 24-7 record as a starter over the past two seasons while tallying 60 touchdowns compared to just 19 interceptions. He’s coming off a surprising Super Bowl appearance with the Rams.
