The Facts: Gurley may never get around to having that conversation with Sean McVay. According to Mike Silver of NFL Network, the Rams running back’s name has come up in trade talks.
Diehards Line:
The Rams have seemed uneasy about Gurley’s future for some time, largely because of the guaranteed money he’d be due come Friday. With $10.5 million in guaranteed compensation due soon, Gurley’s salary cap numbers clearly aren’t in line with his performance. He ran for just 857 yards last year, amid concerns about the long-term health of his knee. As PFT suggests, it might be hard to imagine anyone being willing to take on his contract, but today has already brought a number of surprises.
