Many people have been critical of the money the Rams are spending upon Goff. Many people point to that and the contracts to Gurley and Cook as evidence of mismanagement by the FO. I take another view. Both Gurley's and Cook's release were necessitated by injury, something not foreseeable. But looking at Goff 's contract you see why I think this FO is doing a great job in bringing in top talent and staying competitive while they do. They wisely front-loaded Goff's deal with a built-in restructure. Next year will be the hump year and even then when you compare it to the other top contracts it's not out of line. What is really important to note is after 2022 Goff's contract decreases every year making his value even greater. It also, allows the team to re-sign all that top talent they have. That is why I have said re-signing guys like Kupp, Floyd, Robinson, and Ramsey is a matter of kicking the can down the road one year.
I believe that by 2022 this COVID-19 issue will be behind us. A vaccine will likely be available probably before next season. Sellouts will be the rule not the exception in 2022 as the country normalizes. The cap will rise in 2023, and the Rams will be in great shape to afford those contracts. When you look at Goff's contract and the escalation of QB contracts in general you can see how by good structuring the Rams have made themselves into a franchise that will be a contender for a long time. All the doom and gloom prognosticators have never really looked at both the roster and the cap to see the reality of what Snead's plan is. He is building a dynasty here in LA. It is being built for today and the long term both. Outstanding work for an elite GM.
As the cost of starting QBs rises the Rams will have their cost declining! How is that a bad thing?
