Jared Goff Net Worth: Rams QB Has Highest Guaranteed Salary In NFL
KEY POINTS
- Goff has highest guaranteed salary among NFL players
- Los Angeles Rams rewarded Goff with a four-year contract extension
Goff has guaranteed $110 million salary
Jared Goff’s net worth will be among the NFL elite after signing a contract extension. The Los Angeles Rams has rewarded their quarterback a four-year, $134 million deal, with $110 million in guaranteed salary.
The deal makes Goff the highest paid player in NFL history in terms of guaranteed salary, per Forbes. He replaced erstwhile money king Carson Wentz who has $107.9 million in guaranteed salary. This adds another dimension in the brewing rivalry between the two who went 1-2 in the 2016 NFL Draft, with Goff coming at first and Wentz falling to second pick. Goff received a four-year deal worth $27.9 million in his rookie year with a signing bonus of $18.6 million.
The former first overall pick’s story is an inspiring one. His dismal showing affected his team’s chances in his rookie season. Fortunately, the Rams made the necessary changes that sparked the turnaround in Goff’s game. After replacing Jeff Fisher with Sean McVay, the QB registered 24-7 win-loss record as a starter. Consequently, his robust QB rating from ESPN improved to 65.4 in 2018 from 52.1 two years ago.
Aside from his new deal, the 25-year-old star quarterback gets money from endorsement deals. According to Refinery 29, his massive social media following enabled him to partner with brands such as Red Bull, Head and Shoulders, Hulu and Pizza Hut.
He owns a couple of cars such as Ford Focus and an Audi which carry a price tag of $1.3 million. His home in Agoura Hills, Los Angeles County is reportedly worth $1.3 million also.
With a new deal in place, Jared Goff’s estimated net worth now stands at $20 million, Celebrity Net Worth reports.
The future remains bright for the young quarterback. He led the Rams to Super Bowl LIII but eventually faded against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
The Los Angeles Rams has been locking its players in long term deals in recent years. Aside from Goff, the players who received extensions are receiver Brandin Cooks (five-year deal), defensive tackle Aaron Donald (six-year deal) and running back Todd Gurley (four-year deal). The Los Angeles Times notes that the total guaranteed salaries of the four players have reached $292 million. This reflects the commitment of Rams to reach Super Bowl again and hoping to win it all this time.
The Rams sports an 8-6 win-loss record, good for fourth place in the NFC West. With Goff’s new deal, the team hopes it could reignite the quarterback’s play and lead the team to resurgence and make a run to the playoffs.
