Goff agrees to contract extension with Rams

Quarterback Jared Goff has agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Los Angeles Rams through the 2024 season.

The Rams confirmed the agreement Sept. 3. The team didn’t disclose contract terms.

Goff is beginning his fourth year with the Rams, who made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft. After a rocky rookie season, Goff has become a two-time Pro Bowl selection under Coach Sean McVay over the past two years.

Goff has passed for 8,492 yards with 60 touchdowns and 19 interceptions in 31 regularseason games as McVay’s starter. He also led the Rams to two playoff victories before the Super Bowl, where he struggled in a 19-for-38 performance for 229 yards in Los Angeles’ 13-3 loss.

COLLINS SIGNS EXTENSION » First The Dallas Cowboys and right tackle La’el Collins have agreed on a new contract, the second extension to get se t t led du r i n g star r unning back Ezekiel Elliott’s holdout. The deal signed Sept. 3 is for $50 million over five years w ith $35 million guaranteed. It’s the second extension Collins and the Cowboys have negotiated since he chose them as an undrafted f ree agent in 2015. Collins was expected to be a high pick in the draft when his name surfaced in a police investigation into the shooting death of a woman the former LSU player knew in his hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Collins was cleared in the case, but the timing cost him millions. Now his career earnings are set to surpass $50 million after two years at right tackle. The 26-year-old Collins was at left guard his first two seasons. He became the starter during his rookie year before being limited to three games because of a toe injury in 2016. Collins signed a $15.4 million, two-year extension in 2017 and was going into the final year of that deal. Elliott is seeking an extension with two years remaining on the twotime rushing champion’s rookie contract. The extension with Collins comes two weeks after linebacker Jaylon Smith signed a $64 million, five-year extension with $33.5 million guaranteed. Elliott has been holding out since the start of camp in California in July.
