OK, I'm with you: if Goff doesn't improve (which is still possible) the production isn't commensurate with his pay.
So with that, how do the Rams trade him? His new team will not only have to pay him, they will have to cough up some draft capital for the privilege to do so!!
As Mr. Snead says, there are ways to handle the cap. Since we pick up the pro-rated monies in a trade his new team would be getting him for approx. $28M per year rather than $35M. That's a big difference.
But if that's not low enough his contract could be restructured so that we eat more dead money and the new team gets him for less than $28M. If they did that and the new team got him for $25M or under he starts to look pretty attractive. Terry Bridgewater was signed in the $22M range and most would say he's an inferior QB.
