Trading or cutting Gurley before the new CBA would have been prohibitive because until the new CBA was signed, there was no June 1 option.
Once the new CBA was voted in there was suddenly a June 1st option again.
Without the June 1st option for Gurley are least, cutting or trading them both would have been complete cap disaster. The hit would have been too high.
The June 1st option at least partially addresses that, making it much more do-able.
So the people who were saying earlier on it would have cost too much were right--until the June 1 option kicked in with the new CBA, it was too much.

Makes sense zn but the CBA was always in play even though it was not voted and agreed on prior to predictions.
Even still... The Rams could've cut Gurley regardless of the CBA and Cooks got traded for more than a bag of chips.
I get your point and you would be a good attorney defending the populous..
Go Rams!!!
Never doubt the McVay and Snead era...
They don't sit on their hands regardless of draft capitol and salary cap.
