The Facts: Sean McVay told NFL Network's Michael Silver on Thursday he's fed up with the suggestion that the Rams aren't committed to Goff long-term. "Whether it ends up happening this year or next year, there is a zero percent chance this guy's not gonna get an extension he's worthy of," McVay said. "All the narratives out there are wrong. Jared and I couldn't be more connected, and I couldn't be more appreciative of him as our leader. He is so vital and important to us and our success. That extension will get done. It's a matter of when, not if."
Diehards Line:The lecture follows speculation that the Rams might be hesitant to lock down Goff because McVay is the puppet-master who is the sole reason for the quarterback's success, and therefore L.A. might balk at paying him $30-plus-million per season on a new deal, especially after his struggles in the Super Bowl. For his part, Goff isn't fretting about his next deal with the Rams, knowing his payday is on the horizon so long as he stays healthy and continues his yearly improvement under McVay.
