The Rams Recent Large Contracts
The Rams are signing their guys to big contracts. The Rams signed Aaron Donald to a six-year, $135 million extension, making him the highest-paid defensive player at the time, passing Von Miller. They also signed Jared Goff to a four-year, $134 million extension. He is currently the sixth highest-paid QB in the NFL. Todd Gurley, the final big contract for the Rams, got a four-year, $60 million extension. The Rams did drop Gurley in March, after a sub-par season from him. He has since signed with Atlanta.
The Rams are hoping their high contract guys play up to expectations. Last season they went 9-7 and missed the playoffs.
Los Angeles kicks off their season against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in their brand new stadium.
