30 but became official on March 18, a day after the start of the league year. "Jared Goff is a Ram right now," Snead said. The following day, McVay would not guarantee Goff's spot on the roster in 2021. "Yeah, he's our quarterback, right now," McVay said after the loss to the Packers. McVay and Snead made that clear in their season-ending news conferences when they provided no guarantees for Goff. The trade came together within 24 hours and was a move few could have predicted despite knowing the Rams' quarterback situation for 2021 would be different than the previous four years.

"I would say there's a lot of things that when I self-reflect, I certainly wish I was better for him in some instances."

"When you look back on the four years that we did have together, there's a lot of times you can smile on," McVay said a month after the trade was agreed upon. "Unfortunately, the way it ended is never how you envision it," Goff said during an introductory news conference in Detroit. For those accomplishments, he was rewarded with a four-year, $134 million extension, including a record-breaking $110 million guaranteed, only 17 months before the trade. It was a startling turn of events considering Goff won two NFC West division titles and an NFC championship and helped lead the Rams to Super Bowl LIII.

Goff's thumb injury allowed McVay to start a different quarterback late last season. Two opposite personalities that once worked harmoniously - McVay's hyper-focused drive to Goff's cool-and-calm demeanor - no longer meshed. In the span of two seasons, routine coach and quarterback sideline squabbles turned into one-sided shouting matches, with McVay no longer holding back. But McVay's frustration with the franchise quarterback had been brewing for some time. That was Week 12 of the 2020 season, and Goff had turned the ball over three times in a 23-20 loss to the NFC West rival San Francisco 49ers.

"Our quarterback has to take better care of the football," McVay said about Goff, the player general manager Les Snead traded six picks to move up and draft No. Minutes later, a heated McVay continued to call out Goff, but this time to reporters, the first time in four seasons as coach he took aim at a player rather than putting the blame on himself after a loss. McVay didn't say the quarterback's name, but those who were there said they knew to whom McVay was talking. McVay glared in Goff's direction, shouting that he needed to play better and couldn't continue to turn the ball over. It was a postgame scene many had never before witnessed. Inside the home locker room at SoFi Stadium, standing underneath a neon-glowing Los Angeles Rams logo, coach Sean McVay called out quarterback Jared Goff in front of players and coaches. Jared Goff will return to play in Los Angeles for the first time since being traded to the Detroit Lions for Matthew Stafford when the Lions (0-6) take on the Los Angeles Rams (5-1) on Sunday (4:05 p.m. Editor's note: This story originally ran March 24.
