7 offseason additions who've fallen flat (QB Jared Goff:  Rams head coach Sean McVay souring on Goff last season led to his departure in March. Goff was included in an offseason trade for Matthew Stafford where the Lions received a 2022 first-round pick, a 2023 first-round pick and a 2021 third-round pick from the Rams. He was dealt despite the four-year contract extension averaging $33.5 million per year he signed shortly before the 2019 regular season, leaving the Rams with $24.7 million in dead money, a salary cap charge for a player no longer on a team's roster.  Goff hasn't done much with the winless Lions to prove he is more than just a product of McVay's offensive system. The Lions are probably stuck with Goff in 2022 because of his contract -- $20 million of Goff's $25.65 million 2021 base salary was converted into signing bonus for salary cap purposes right after the trade. Goff's $15.5 million third day of the 2022 league year roster bonus (March 18) is already fully guaranteed without an offset -- $10 million of Goff's $10.65 million base salary, which is guaranteed for injury, becomes fully guaranteed without an offset on the same day. This means there will be $30.5 million in 2022 dead money should the Lions release Goff before his 2022 base salary is completely secure on March 18. His 2022 cap number is $26.15 million. Goff's trade value is minimal at this point.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/agents-take-seven-offseason-acquisitions-who-have-not-lived-up-to-expectations/
