From where I stand, there is no right number.
There's just whatever two sides can mutually agree upon.
So far they haven't agreed, either on money or some other aspect of the deal.
But it's not like the Rams are trying to force him to take his current salary.
Just saying my friend---because we don't know, it can be turned the other way. It could be the Rams are the party not coming through on this.
Let's say they extend Goff next year. They probably won't, it will probably be the year after, but pretending they do, there's a market they have to account for. This year Cousins and JG each signed for around 28 M. If the Rams offer Goff 25 M their offer will be 4 years out of date. In 2017 Cousins and etc. signed deals for 28 M, and 2nd contracts like that go up each year. Is Goff wrong to turn down 25 M in that scenario? I would say no--he has every reason to expect the team to honor the fact that the amount for 2nd contracts keeps going up.
