They released Todd Gurley. Just another in a series of bloated RB contracts that go badly.

funny how the perspective on NFL GMs can change so quickly
12 months ago, Les Snead was a genius. Today, not so much.

less impactful, but they also just released Clay Matthews

No. He has knee issues, and is a shell of himself.
Just because he is a big name does not mean he is any good. It's just like David Johnson.

Not a long shelf life with running backs. Gurley is damaged.

I don’t see how it would.... If I was Drake I wouldn’t even bargain with another team just take the 8.7 sitting on the table.

IF AND WHEN HEALTHY...
LMAO:
If Texans waited three days they could’ve just picked up Gurley and kept Hopkins

It’s getting where you keep them for the rookie contract and then cut bait.
He is taking his firing like a champ.

Transition tag price is an average of the top 10 RB contracts. Without Gurley & Freeman (#'s 2 and 5 out of the top 10)...... That number drops quite a bit when they are removed.
This question is tough to answer IMO but maybe someone knows.

the Rams may have gotten better..... in the long term
but not for next year.
Extra $3mm of cap room lost.
He did provide 900 yards and 14 TDs for them.

It would be dumb for Drake not to consider other teams. Gurley is a perfect example as to why he should entertain offers. The $8.7 is good for one year. A longer term contract with more guaranteed money makes a lot more sense than one year especially if he gets hurt.

feed hopkins
Gurley had 54 TD’s the past 3 seasons. Damn knee injuries.

It’s the nature of the beast.
If Drake stays here and negotiates a longer deal he will be a whole lot richer than risking playing just on a one year deal.
