Lions' Jared Goff: Rams Trade Was 'Greatest Thing That Ever Happened to Me'

The Los Angeles Rams abruptly ended the Jared Goff era in March 2021 when they traded the quarterback to the Detroit Lions for Matt Stafford.

It was a tough blow for Goff, who admitted in January to still having a chip on his shoulder from the deal. However, he also noted on the Trading Cards podcast last Monday that the trade was "the greatest thing" that ever happened to him as well.

"In hindsight, (being traded to Detroit) was the greatest thing that ever happened to me, for my career and my development as a human," Goff said on the Trading Cards podcast, via Jared Ramsey of the Detroit Free Press.
