The LA Rams are not the only NFL team to use one-year contracts to audition an NFL veteran whose fit, durability, or production is in question over a long-term role with the team. Sadly, other teams have mastered the obvious as well. Of course, it all depends on the situation, the player, the team, and the amount of available salary-cap space.
A year ago, the LA Rams decided to release long time favorite and offensive leader running back Todd Gurley. It was not an easy decision then, any more than the easy decision over quarterback Jared Goff this year.
