What was he when the Rams cut him? That's what I don't understand about it. Why does he have to wait to get that next big contract if there are actually suitors? On the one hand, he's likely banking on himself to be able to show that he's still an elite RB to get to that next big deal but it's just...

Agree totally.
Clearly they didn’t see any chance these guys end up on the 53 and camp fodder can be found later

$0 guaranteed from Atlanta, 7ish guaranteed from the Rams

I'm not sure I'm reading this conversation right. Gurley was cut and free to sign as long of a deal as he could get. Seems reasonable to assume that no one wanted to offer him a multiyear deal if he took a 1 year deal. How fast he took it might also be worth considering. IMO, if there was a market ...

Not at all is pretty strong. Obviously Atl wouldn't sign for a longer deal until physicals are even performed. Neither would I after watching him the last 20 games or so. If the Red Birds had confidence in his health, and had more interest been shown by more teams for TGII I'm sure he would have be...

I think a more appropriate thread title is needed here.
I opened by mistake thinking it was just another thread complaining about the uniforms
On Hewitt, hasn’t he been with USC for a bunch of years now and is close to retirement?

It’s the right call, no reason to cancel it, they don’t need to have a spectacle with no people there. However, I do think they should reconsider how it’s broadcasted. It’s all about making a buck, I get that, but it might be more of a draw to going back to more of the “old days” 2 days of broadcast...

The level of commitment (or long term lack there of) from the Falcons is noticeable. Not at all. There is no other way to sign a released player in that situation. He’s already on the Rams payroll for 2020 for 6-7 mill. Neither the team or Gurley benefits from signing longer than the 1 year deal. I...

Does anything prevent teams in a trade from sharing contractual dollars owed to a player? Couldn’t the Rams have agreed to absorb some of his salary with Atlanta taking in the rest? Or is this potential practice prohibited? Thats what I don’t understand. But you make a good point, is that an allowa...

Seems like the obvious answer but I don't actually know for sure. I do think that a FA RB is the better road to take. While college RB's do acclimate relatively quickly, the way the Rams offense is set up right now, it seems less crucial to have a dynamic RB as it is to have one that can pass block...
