So is he digging for this last paycheck from the Rams because he won’t pass a physical with the Falcons?

The Rams will owe Gurley $2.5 mil more if he doesn't pass his physical though i don't see why he wouldn't. He may not be in his physical prime but he's not crippled...

So the falcons signed him to a contract without knowing his medical condition??? WOWZA

I have a bad feeling about this.

Well if he doesnt pass, it just confirms the Rams got giddy and paid him to much too soon.
They were going for a SB and were creating a player friendly culture. That still occured. Unfortunately we arent as easily ably to maintain a winning culture being cash strapped.

At least then we were as proactive as we can afford by jettisoning him and moving forward.

Dont you mean the Falcons?! I mean the Rams obviously felt he wasnt worth the money anymore. The Falcons didnt at least get an independent doctor to look at Gurley?

The deal is contingent on him passing a physical. With the covid situation he hasn't taken his yet. It's actually not that weird considering the situation.

Same thing happened with Floyd and Robinson with us, took a long time for their deals to become official because they/we were waiting on them getting a physical.

Understood, but those guys arent suspected of having a injury. I know Brockers talked about having a independent doctor look at him during this COVID situation.

I hear what your saying @actionjack. Since the Rams are paying the bulk of this years salary anyway, it was worth the flyer on the former Georgia Bulldog. Wont hurt them to bad if it doesnt work out.
I dont remember that many teams chomping at the bit do get him either.

Good point, I guess no real risk on their part. I just found it funny seeing all the hype from the Falcons about getting him and they have no idea how is knee is....

I will be a bit surprised if he does anything like here, at least for a long stretch. He'll have his games but I can't see the Rams tossing aside a highly guaranteed highly paid running back just because he became a malcontent. Something is wrong and that fact that nobody will come out and say that his knee is just fine is noticeable.
Unless the Rams are screwing with him which I kind of doubt.
