$45 million guaranteed
The Los Angeles Rams and Todd Gurley have reached an agreement on a four-year contract extension worth $60 million, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter, in a deal that resets the market for running backs. The deal ties Gurley to the Rams for the next six seasons and includes $45 million guaranteed, the largest guarantee given to a running back, the source told Schefter. Gurley also will receive a $20 million signing bonus, according to the source. (ESPN)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Gurley is your top paid running back for now, while Le’Veon Bell and David Johnson negotiate for more money. Gurley finished 3rd in touches last season (343) behind Bell (406) and LeSean McCoy (346) and should be workhorse back for the Rams as long as he remains healthy. Gurley turns 24 years old in August.
