Demoff: Rams won't rush Goff extensionLindsey Thiry
ESPN
The Rams intend to extend the contract of quarterback Jared Goff.
But they won't be rushed into a deal just because the Philadelphia Eagles opted to sign quarterback Carson Wentz, who was selected second behind Goff in the 2016 NFL draft. Wentz this week agreed to a four-year, $128 million extension with Philly, with an NFL-record $107.9 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
"I don't want this to sound hollow, but I don't think it affects our conversations that much," Kevin Demoff, the Rams' chief operating officer and executive vice president of football operations, said Friday. "It's been reported for a few months that the Eagles and Carson were talking about a contract. We were well aware of that, and they seem to be on a different timetable."
Demoff would not provide a timetable for Goff's extension but said the organization wants to "get through the offseason" and evaluate the team before looking at contract extensions. Cornerback Marcus Peters and linebacker Cory Littleton are among several players seeking extensions.
