After a 2017 campaign that consisted of Todd Gurley finishing second in the MVP voting to Tom Brady, the Los Angeles Rams pulled off another one of their surprise offseason moves last July by rewarding their beloved running back with a hefty extension.
At the time, the Rams seemed to have the mindset of wanting to get Gurley’s extension out of the way since they knew it would need to be addressed at some point.
Not to mention, with Los Angeles knowing that other players like Aaron Donald and Jared Goff would need new contracts as well down the road, it sort of made sense for the Rams to get Gurley’s out of the way.
