Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay appeared on Monday's Rich Eisen Show (h/t Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk) and expressed appreciation for everything running back Todd Gurley did during his five seasons with the team:

McVay also opened up about the difficulty of releasing Gurley, who has since joined the Atlanta Falcons:

"Sometimes tough decisions have to be made. I think he will do a very nice job with the Falcons. For us, the only way I can put it is these decisions are never easy, but more than anything, I think it's important to just represent the type of player, the person and the appreciation for the time that we did have together.
