In 2018, the Los Angeles Rams signed their former running back Todd Gurley to a 4-year contract extension that was worth $60 million ($45 million guaranteed). At the time this was the largest running back average annual salary and guaranteed money in NFL history.
Gurley signed the deal coming off a season where he finished 2nd in MVP voting. Unfortunately, the Rams saw concerns with the state of Gurley’s knee and made the decision to release him, taking a $20.15 million sunk cost.
Gurley tweeted at the Rams on Wednesday asking for them to pay him the money he is owed.
