On the flip side, i have a hard time thinking the Rams don't know how it works.

And why would Gurley be demanding the money by June 1st if it's due now?

seems that gurley was told he would get his money by x date, which he tweeted about, saying that he still hadn't received it, then the rams gave him a new date, june 1, which gurley is again publicly holding them to.... gurley and matthews have different agents, are both camps just out to lunch on contract language and due dates? kinda hard to believe... whatever the case, we have one guy who's had to file a grievance to get what he thinks he's due, and another who's continuing to tweet that the rams still haven't paid him, seems there's more to it than the gurley and matthews camps simply not understanding the situation... then again, maybe both guys never returned their locker keys and that's what's holding the paychecks up!

Snead:

“They’re definitely owed money,” Snead said in the interview. “That money is guaranteed. We’re going to pay them. There’s some language in the contract of exactly when you pay them, and that’s what we’re adhering by. What I do know is both Clay and Todd earned that money, and they’re going to get that money.”

My guess is Gurley not being able to take a physical and finalize his contract with the Falcons has something to do with difference of opinion on when the money is due...

My bet is that it has something to do with that. The Rams can't calculate how much they owe him because there's offset money involved. If that's correct, he is not officially a Falcon yet because there's no physical yet. So they don't know if the offset applies or not. I have to figure the Rams would never do it this way (I don't know if any team would): pay him the whole amount then ask for the offset back if and when it applies.

It's the same with Matthews, I bet. Unless/until he signs, they have no idea how much the offset is, so they don't know what they really owe him.

sure, that could very well be the case, but that seems like pretty basic, straightforward contract stuff, something that everyone involved would certainly understand, not be confused or surprised by, ragardless of the "language"... which means both gurley and matthews have just decided to be assholes, with matthews even doubling down on being an asshole by filing a grievance.
