it's an extension of the current contract. That means the cap hit this year will be minimal. And, it means Todd Gurley will be a Ram for the best part of his career. And...$15 million a year is a bargain in my mind...considering we have him 6 more years. I wonder what he will get at signing? 75% of the contract is guaranteed...as we continue to march towards fully guarantees for the leagueby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
Dickerson, Bell, Elliott, I could go on...played behind lousy lines? No...they had good lines...but they made ordinary plays into extraordinary plays. Todd Gurley made a good offensive line look even better. There are few backs in the history of the NFL than go above and beyond...overcome a lousy OL. I can think of two...Peyton and Sanders. Gurley's issue in year 2 was simple...the line waby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
Quote... While Everett flashed as a rookie, tight end is an incredibly hard transition from the college game to the pro one, and he may need more time to develop. I disagree on flashed. One play or 14 receptions isnby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
Gurley turns 3 yards to 8 yards...a 8 yard reception to a 20 yard reception. As for the others...I positive Gurley did a lot more for them than they did for Gurley. However, this is a team game. So they all play a role. I think Goff has a good year...not great. And Gurley helped him out significantly with passing yards taking screen passes for 10+ yards a pop. Woods had a great year for Wby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
he could very well get two more contracts. He is only 2 months older than Goff.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
I was just jabbering... Joyner, if he wanted a Ram, played his hand wrong. Of course, I'm not even certain if the Rams thought of signing him LT.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
I also think many people think we can draft a bunch of third rounders and later and compensate for his production. That is so wrong. Gurley is what made the offense tick last year. He was Goff's security blanket. Goff would have NEVER had the season he did without Todd Gurley...who was clearly the MVP on offense for this team. And you're saying Hav, Saffold and JB are a priority over Gurby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
I''ll try to go from memory but the point was that the RBs coming (the marquee ones) were not just RBs...they were receivers and it was my view they were going to start tapping into some of the WR money to boost their contracts. Look at how many times LeVeon Bell, Todd Gurley, David Johnson, Ezekial Elliott and I think you can add Kamara...touch the ball running AND receiving. Another key factoby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
it's like he just dropped off the face of the earth! Sammy Watkins played one year...and we read lots. Trumaine Johnson six years and crickets. You know, he did kind of perform that way.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
years ago. He is a lost memory.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
but Joyner is going to have to hit the open market to get what he is getting this year. My guess is he is looking at less than $10 million a year. But...with so many guys to bring back, I think we should hope he stays healthy and enjoy his last season as a Ram.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com

the Rams would have to pay him over $13,500,000 if they franchise tagged him again (120% of previous year salary). That is not happening.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
He is multi-dimensional and was pretty good with the Vikings last year. Over 50 receptions and a combined 1000+ yards running and receiving. In a front line roll he could be a 1,500 yard 10 TD player. He's not Todd Gurley but he's not a slouch. In FFB with a RB starved league, he would be a steal at a RB3 or flex play.

5 Rams who could be in their last season with the team By: Andrew Ortenberg | 2 hours ago It’s often said that “NFL” stands for “not for long.” There’s an incredible amount of turnover for all teams from year to year. The Los Angeles Rams are no exception. The Rams roster currently looks a lot different than it did last year, with a slew of departures and acquisitions this offseason, andby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com

no pass rush. I suspect Garrapolo is going to have a good season. Their offensive line will be the biggest factor in that result.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com

not even before he was hurt. However, he was what, a sixth round pick. It's possible but I won't hold my breath. As for McVay using TEs, he didn't have a Gurley on the Redskins to take receptions. My guess is that our TEs continue to be a move the chains group. What we need is someone to step it up in the red zone.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com

Actually, not much for me to mea culpa about but one thing... I liked Goff. I saw promise behind a horrendous OL and incompetent coaching staff. Goff was abused. Yet, he got up and continued to make some plays. He just couldn't behind that line and a bunch of pathetic WRs and TEs. I liked Gurley.

it won't be this year. Of course, I'm on record saying it's not going to happen. If, and that's a big if, he is going to take another year. However, 35 receptions, if he gets there, is hardly a breakout year.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com

Proof of results. All your points are good and are attributable to great organizations like... New England Pittsburgh We have a ways to go but at least we have taken a step forward.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
If people question what Rams management is doing...there is an agenda. If people revere Rams management....there is no agenda. This organization is not New England. They have proven nothing. Actually, I find it more interesting to read the point/counterpoint.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com

I think we will see those guarantee numbers inch up more and more...especially for the star players. Don't we have to recognize 1/5 of his signing bonus this year? I assume we add that to his rookie contract amount.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
