Sean McVay: Jared Goff deserved better than the way I handled his departure.
“Could it have been handled better on my end? Absolutely,” McVay said. “I’ll never run away from that. But the further you get away from it the more you try to grow as a person, as a man, as a leader. He deserved better than the way that it all went down. I’ll acknowledge that. And I think he knows that too. And I’m not afraid to admit to those things, but I think we’re all better being able to look back on those things. And I do have more appreciation for him as time goes on.”
On Jan. 30, 2021, the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions agreed to a blockbuster trade involving two former No. 1 overall picks: Jared Goff & Matthew Stafford
Goff says the chip on his shoulder from being traded by the #Rams will never leave
“I think it’ll never leave me, and I think that’s a good thing.”
Goff on facing Sean McVay & Rams:
"We had our differences there at the end, but he's a great coach. He's a guy that taught me a lot."
Goff says there's no extra motivation facing LA. "I so badly want to win a playoff game for this city."
