Rams are the worst. Probably gonna extend the head coach who loses every year.

It's the same team that extended Jeff Fisher too. Changed cities but you can't fix stupid.

I guess those 52 catches for 473 yards and 5 TD's last year was all the convincing they needed to extend him.

must have made a few circus catches at camp that we haven't seen or heard about either.

he's not good but he's one of 2 players on that offense that can even make a big play

True. He's not worth that much money but who else are they gonna put out there? I guess the thinking is that they need someone for Goff to build around and he is the best they have.

I can't remember the exact percentage, but a vast number of his catchers at the line of scrimmage, led the NFL

Overpaid, without a doubt.

They are limited with talent at receiver, though.

Looks super overpaid to me.

He's a gadget player.

Feel like NFL teams have been passing out money much more than usual

Woah. He has a nice skill set but he'll never be able to overcome his height. I agree in part with LE but that's a good way to tie up money in so-so players.

Yeah but he's not like about to reach free agency in a week or something, I don't see the pressure to do that

If you want to put weapons around Goff, go the Browns route and just draft 100 of them and save yourself 5 mil a year
