Report: Rams planning to meet with Gurley to discuss future
Todd Gurley's future with the Los Angeles Rams is up in the air.
The Rams plan to meet with their star running back this offseason before making a decision on how to proceed with him going forward, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Gurley finished 2019 with career lows in rushing attempts (223) and yards (857), and his long-term availability is in question, as the running back's dealt with a fair share of injuries.
Gurley signed a four-year, $57.5-million contract with Los Angeles prior to the 2018 campaign. He was sidelined for the final two games of the 2018 regular season with a knee injury. The power back returned in the playoffs but was held to just 11 touches in his team's Super Bowl LIII defeat.
In March 2019, it was reported that Gurley had arthritis in his left knee.
The 25-year-old is currently the second-highest-paid running back in the league, earning over $14 million per season. If the Rams release Gurley this offseason, he would count as $25.65 million in dead money, according to Over The Cap.
Gurley led the league in touches and total yards from 2015 to 2018, amassing a league-leading 40 scrimmage touchdowns from 2017-18.
