A former NFL linebacker isn't happy with how Jared Goff reacted to his 2021 trade from the Los Angeles Rams to the Detroit Lions.
Goff said on an episode of the Netflix show "Quarterback" that he felt blindsided and betrayed by the move and also questioned the Rams' maturity for their handling of the trade.
That didn't sit right with LaVar Arrington, who called Goff a "soft mother F’er" for how those comments.
Arrington played seven seasons in the NFL from 2000 to 2006. He played for six of those years for Washington before he finished his career with the New York Giants.
The implication by Arrington is that Goff reacted too emotionally when the franchise that drafted him No. 1 overall in 2016 traded him away five years later without much communication. And, that this happens so frequently that Goff shouldn't have been too surprised by it.
But you can't fault a quarterback for feeling a certain way when such a huge move like this goes down.
Funny enough, both Goff and the Rams have since looked pretty good apart from each other. L.A. won a Super Bowl the same year they traded Goff for Matthew Stafford and have been perennial contenders ever since. Goff and the Lions, meanwhile, have been one of the best in the league for the past three seasons and once again heading into 2025.
