I say wait and see what he looks like with a good OL blocking for him. It would suck to let him go and eat the dead cap only to see him return to 2017-18 Todd behind a good OL for a different team. Probably wouldnt happen with the Dolphins but you know what I mean.

always hopes & dreams. Why ?? Gurley still might have something left in the tank. Who knows?? I just think it helps The Rams in the long run. Need some kind of cap relief.

Which trading Gurley will not provide. The cap hit from trading him would be $7.4 million additional in 2020, plus paying somebody else for that roster spot. And even last season he was valuable, just not as valuable as before.

Even if trading him would save money, we would need to give up a decent draft pick just for a team to take him on. Thinking the Dolphins would give us even a 7th round pick for him is a stretch IMO. More likely we would need to duplicate the Brock Osweiler trade from Denver to Cleveland.

We'd be better served on putting our resources toward a time machine so that we can go back and not extend him. It's a particularly tough subject for me because before any of this happened, once the Rams were a good team in the midst of 2017 I realized we needed to let him go. It was the smart decision.

So a fan post from turf show times is posted as evidence of a rumor we are trying to trade Gurley and to back it up a tweet from the same fan site is posted? Might as well say any of our fan mocks here are fact and they’re what the Rams are doing for their offseason and we have the evidence!

A team with a crazy amount a cap who is willing to absorb his money for an additional pick. The browns did it with Brock Oswieler. For the record I think he can still be a fine running back with a good offensive line. Even if he isn't the old Gurley anymore

Gurley' going nowhere. The Rams are just gonna have to suck it up and make it work for a couple more years. Maybe he can return to form? Maybe not. But the cap hit means they just have to cross their fingers and hope it was the line more than him.

There is no truat all .
Just a topic saying Trade Todd Gurley.

That is a personal belief I think The Rams
Should consider. It is a salary dump to start
fresh & keep building within.

I think it is a combination of both. Gurley still has game , but not a cowbell back. Maybe it is just him having to cut down on the wear & tear.
The offensive line will get better, just from depth & injuries alone. Add the youth
and full offseason of OTA’s and camp.

Never say never though. Examples are Ogletree & Quinn 2 solid Rams over there years.

No mention of the shitty run blocking by the limp dick OL. Put it all on Todd Gurley's bum leg.

Lossing Saffold was a
Mistake from what we saw this season.

Then again when Tannehill had to go back & pass Saffold wasn’t Quite as good. Tannehill and it up taking a beating from
KC !!!

How is it a salary dump? What’s the net salary cap affect of Gurley getting traded? There have been countless discussions on this topic for a year now. Presenting the article and later the tweet is pushing the article and evidence it’s credible when it’s a fan based opinion blog post.

LOL

Todd Gurley might have had something to do with the Rams being a good team in 2017, right?

Funny post
