Jefferson to the Bills was one example. I'm guessing his source is an agent's office so he won't always know everything. But he seems to know who is interested.

Do they have a second round pick this year and next? That could be a start. Ooooh, and throw in Aaron Donald. /sarcasm(andbadsarcasmatthat) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I’d consider one of their 3rd’s to take him. You’re essentially buying a 3rd round pick with your cap space and gurley might be useful for a year or 2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFT Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 8 minutes ago, HappyDays said: I would be surprised if we're in on this. Maybe if we bet a late round pick and we absorb the cap hit. Admittedly, the Bills were the second team “floated” when I first heard it this am, behind TB. But I think 90% of this and the cooler talk about the Bills are just conjecture. At least I hope that’s the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd need a 1st rounder to start considering the thought of taking on that contract and I don't think they even have a 1st, do they? I dont think they have a first for the next 20 years. Although I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills were interested. When Healthy Gurley is a great player. With our health facilities, they may be willing to roll the dice Edited March 19, 2020 by Captain Hindsight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it's clear they are going to release him. On a pitch count he can still be a useful player but you don't pay platoon backs his salary 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he is a damn good RB, but the damage to his knees are a killer. Unfortunate, because he is/was a fun player to watch. Again, let me know when the Rams want to deal away Cooper Kupp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Not a fan of this. Get a young RB with low milage in the draft, not an arthritic guy we've "heard of"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I can’t imagine them getting much value back in return with his contract and health concerns, especially since teams can’t do their own medical exam on his knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjnick Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 In all seriousness... WHY would you send ANYTHING to the rams for Gurley and his arthritic knees??? Also, there is a plethora of RB's available that will be MUCH cheaper... The Rams will have to give picks with Gurley to get anyone to trade them for him.

They would accelerate his guarantees. A trade will cost the Rams far more than the Bills in terms of space.

DCOrange Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I'm fine with a short-term deal if he gets cut. Looks like the Rams are starting to feel the pain of giving Goff the contract they did. Edited March 19, 2020 by DCOrange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I live in LA. Let me clear something up, Gurley is NOT broken. Again, NOT broken. He was available whenever needed. Does he have the ability to be a bell cow...well maybe, but if he was, his career would end much sooner. Fantasy football people think he’s completely done because the Rams offense didn’t use him like they had and people didn’t get value in their fantasy league. But this is the real NFL where it’s about being a better team and winning championships, and Gurley can still absolutely contribute to that if used properly. In LA it wasn’t so much because they couldn’t, it was because the Rams offense was changing away from leaning on the run game to keep from wearing him down. Gurley even kept saying he’s ready to go and ready for more, but McVay has been moving away from him even in the playoffs and Super Bowl during a season Gurley was dominating. You play to get to the SB and you have a healthy Gurley you don’t use which he said was his big mistake. Sure, he has issues that need to be managed, but he’s absolutely capable of thriving along side another RB like Devin. If we brought him in, I have no doubt McD and Daboll would use him effectively and Gurley would deliver. Having Devin here means he won’t have to be leaned on for 20+ carries a game. One more thing...Rams OL has been on decline every year since his last big year too. That being said...I’m skeptical we are in on him when we can draft a guy now early if we want since we shored up holes at WR and DL, and who would also be cheap and not have his contract. But just saying if we did, our team would definitely get better upon his arrival. Edited March 19, 2020 by Alphadawg7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Holmes Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Sure we'll take Gurley II on but Kupp better be included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 If they end up having to cut him, I'd be all over it. However, no reason to take on that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
