The Rams released the star running back after apparently looking for a trade partner to no avail. The surprising move comes less than two years after the former first-round pick signed a four-year, $57.5 million contract extension, making him the NFL's highest-paid running back.
The Denver Broncos should waste no time in bringing him aboard.
Of course, there are going to be fans who feel that is a horrible idea. You can almost hear the naysayers screaming now.
"His knees are shot! That's why the Rams cut him".
"His best years are behind him, he has nothing left".
