Between this, Melvin Gordon inability to be signed, and Jordan Howard signing a 2 year 10mil deal gives alot of breathing from for the Bengals with Joe Mixon.

I was talking to new #Bengals DT D.J. Reader when news dropped that the Rams released RB Todd Gurley. Reader's reaction in real time? "Holy crap"

Wow, that is huge news.
RE: Rams release Todd Gurley - TecmoBengals - 03-19-2020
It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Tampa Bay perhaps?
RE: Rams release Todd Gurley - Essex Johnson - 03-19-2020
What an amazing fall from grace.. looks like a bad move by Rams with Gurley being resigned just couple years ago
RE: Rams release Todd Gurley - Synric - 03-19-2020
Wait until everyone sees Cam Newton is getting released too.

Wonder what is up? Sportrac says Rams would eat $20M in dead cap.

RE: Rams release Todd Gurley - CJD - 03-19-2020
Is this the end of a RB ever going in the 1st round ever again?
It just seems like the position is so insanely devalued that it's hard to even get a second contract out of it.
If I were a high school RB, I'd start looking at converting into a WR haha.

Rams are releasing RB Todd Gurley, per source. Cutting him today spares the Rams from having to pay him an additional $10.5 million due today. Rams spent weeks exploring a trade for him. Now Gurley will be free to sign with any team.

Boy do the Steelers look smart for calling Bells bluff. Let that be a lesson to you Bengal fans.....DO NOT overpay for a running back. It's too late for Dallas.
RE: Rams release Todd Gurley - Bengalholic - 03-19-2020
Rams also releasing Clay Matthews.
RE: Rams release Todd Gurley - Nate (formerly eliminate08) - 03-19-2020
Guess not really surprising with how Gurley seemed to run out of gas a couple years ago and with his salary.
RE: Rams release Todd Gurley - bengalfan74 - 03-19-2020
He hasn't seemed right since like week 12 of 2018. Does he still have an injury ?
RE: Rams release Todd Gurley - Bengalholic - 03-19-2020
Todd Gurley was the NFL's 2nd-highest paid RB in average per year ($14.375 million).

There are people who are thinking the new way to handle RB's is rookie deal, one or two franchise tags and release. Zeke might have gotten the last big second deal for a RB we ever see.

He has a condition known as done for. Just goes to show you what freaks Peterson and Gore really are.

Man it’s embarrassing that Gio is on that list. Terrible deal.
I love Mixon, but I’m starting to come around in the side of not giving him a big payday.
