THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- A season after aggressive trades and record-breaking paydays that led to a Super Bowl LIII run, the 2019 season was intended to be Super Bowl or bust, version 2.0, for the Los Angeles Rams.
The organization went all-in -- signing quarterback Jared Goff to the most guaranteed money in NFL history ($110 million) and traded two first-round picks midseason to acquire star cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
But the Rams finished 9-7, falling to third place in the NFC West after winning back-to-back division titles, and were eliminated from playoff contention in Week 16.
