Speaking with reporters on Monday, McVay said he feels he could have done better to communicate the trade to Goff.

“Yes, I wish there was better, clearer communication,” McVay said via ESPN. “To say that it was perfectly handled on my end, I wouldn’t be totally accurate in that. I’ll never claim to be perfect, but I will try to learn from some things that I can do better, and I think that was one of them without a doubt.”

The Rams traded Goff to the Lions just two seasons after handing him a four-year extension worth $134 million. The 27-year-old signal-caller later said that he didn’t expect to be moved and revealed that the team didn’t talk with him during the offseason until they needed to tell him he was being traded.

Goff entered the league as the Rams’ first overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. He was named the team’s starting quarterback midway through his rookie year and went on to play 69 games for the franchise. He helped the Rams make the Super Bowl in 2018 and contributed to two more postseason trips.

“I think the L.A. fans and I think the Rams fans know what a great job he had done and how much, I think how much he meant to the Rams organization both as a football player and also the community,” McVay added.

McVay criticized Goff for not taking care of the football after a surprising 20-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers last week. In that game, Goff threw two interceptions and lost a fumble.

“If he was lying I’d feel differently about it—he’s absolutely right,” Goff told reporters on Wednesday. “I’m a big boy, I can handle it.” He later continued: “I need to be better than that, I need to take care of the football, and he’s absolutely right, and I will.”

Goff’s mistakes came at the worst possible moment, as the loss against the 49ers complicates the Rams’ road to the playoffs in a highly competitive NFC West. With a 7-4 record, the Rams are second in the division behind the Seattle Seahawks (8-3). The Arizona Cardinals are also in the hunt for the postseason spot at 6-5.

Jared Goff has been having an inconsistent campaign in 2020, having games in which he looks like a superstar but also providing moments in which he mightily struggles. Goff is completing 67.2 percent of his passes for the season and has thrown for 3,021 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He also fumbled the ball seven times. He’ll look to finish the season strong as the Rams push for a playoff bid.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Goff’s extension is worth $134 million, and comes with NFL-record guaranteed $110 million. The 24-year-old still has two years on his rookie deal under which he is set to earn $4.3 million in 2019 and $22.8 million in 2020. This brings the overall value of his contract to $161 million.

Although Jared Goff didn’t push for an extension this offseason, it became evident that he would get one when Philadelphia Eagles extended QB Carson Wentz. Goff was drafted No.1 overall in 2016 and Wentz was selected No.2 in the same draft. This is why it also makes sense that Goff’s deal is more valuable than Wentz’s, who got $128 million and $107.9 million guaranteed back in June.

After a struggling rookie season under Jeff Fisher, Goff managed to establish himself as one of the better QBs in the league under new Rams’ coach Sean McWay. In the previous two years, he made consecutive Pro Bowl appearances while also leading the team to a Super Bowl appearance in 2018.

Over the course of his three years in the league, Goff completed 62.1 percent of his passes while throwing for 9,581 yards and 65 touchdowns. He added 931 passing yards and two touchdowns in the postseason.
