Right before the start of training camp, the Los Angeles Rams pulled off another surprise by making sure Todd Gurley is around for the long run with a four-year, $60 million extension. Even more exciting, the $45 million guaranteed is the highest for a running back contract in NFL history.
This deal comes as no surprise though to Rams fans, as Gurley is coming off his best season, where he was the runner-up to future Hall of Famer, Tom Brady for the NFL’s MVP award.
The Rams franchise running back rushed to the tune of 1,305 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2017 (both career highs).
