But Goff would ultimately quarterback the Rams for just two more seasons, as the franchise decided to trade him to the Detroit Lions in exchange for veteran signal caller Matthew Stafford.
Goff is one of the NFL quarterbacks who agreed to allow Netflix's cameras to follow him throughout the 2024 season for the streaming giant's docuseries "Quarterback." The latest season of the series premiered this week.
"Three weeks after the last game of the season, get a call from Sean and really did not expect anything," Goff explained on the show. "He lets me know they're trading me to Detroit, and I'm like, 'Whoa, OK, all right. What the hell? What's happening?' I would say about 30 seconds after that phone call, it was on Twitter."
"You feel like you've been betrayed, or like you're not wanted," said Goff. "And I think for me, ultimately it was the fact that there was not a conversation had, and there wasn't like a, 'Hey we're thinking of moving on' type of thing.' There was nothing."
Goff continued by questioning the level of "maturity" that was involved in the handling of his situation.
"You wish that it wasn't such a blindside and that there was some sort of maturity, I guess, to have that conversation and to be able to let me know what was going on and how things went down. And why this is happening. It was my first real taste of true adversity, and your career is kind of at a fork in the road."
He received Pro Bowl honors in 2024 and led the Lions to a 15-win season.
