On July 24, 2018, Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley signed a four-year, $57.5m extension that would keep him in LA through the 2023 season.
Now just seven months later, there’s another running back many Rams fans are hoping to re-sign: RB C.J. Anderson.
Which sets up an inherent problem.
For the Rams to get their money’s worth out of Gurley, he can’t be in a job share.
Which is a weird fact to have to iterate given that he’s never been in one until the playoffs.
Through the first 12 games of the season, Gurley spearheaded a reserve unit led by backup RB Malcolm Brown with RBs Justin Davis and John Kelly in deep roster support.
