Todd Gurley gets cut by Rams, signs with Falcons

Running back Todd Gurley was shockingly cut by the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday. After being cut, Gurley went on to sign a one year/$6 million contract with NFC contender, the Atlanta Falcons.

This was a shocking and stupid decision by the Los Angels Rams. This guy was the 2017 Offensive Player of the Year and was one of the main reasons why the Rams made it to the Super Bowl in 2019. Now after being the face of the franchise, they decided to cut him.

I know they were looking to trade him due to salary cap issues, but still should’ve kept a hold of Gurley or traded him away somewhere else. Instead you are just cutting him from the team to get nothing in return.

Todd Gurley might’ve not had the best season last year, but this guy is still a good running back. I personally think this will hurt the Rams, but they could still be a good team.

For the Falcons, this makes them a tough team in the NFC with a powerful quarterback in Matt Ryan and a dominant receiver in Julio Jones. This could mean a lot of yards and touchdowns this season for the Atlanta Falcons in hoping to bring the team back to the Super Bowl.
