flyguy1609 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 the lions should give up the 5th rd pick they got from the eagles for Gurley, i wouldn't mind a move like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things to consider about trading for Gurley... 1. He had 14 TD's in the worst year of his career. 2. PFF Ranked Rams O-Line has 31st last year. 3. Rams will be on the hook for most of his 2020 salary. Low Risk. 4. He is very good at pass protection still. Is he going to put up OPOY numbers? No. Does he have issues with his repaired knee? Yes, but being overblown. He is still a 1100 yard 10+TD RB under 26 with ability to pass protect and catch passes. Teams in a SuperBowl window are interested for those reasons.

I would very, very, very, very, very much mind that. They might settle for a 4th with how serious they are about moving him, but anything less than a 3rd and I'll be heated.

If the best offer they get is a 5th and nobody budges, they will have to take it or keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, BoB doesn't have any more generational talents to trade away (Watson, but QB isn't a need for the Rams and Watson may not have multiple baby mommas). He doesn't have picks to give away either, unless we're post dating draft picks. So I think he's out of the running, unless he's willing to trade away the naming rights to NRG stadium... "And we go to you live, at Los Angeles Rams stadium, home of the Bill O'Brien Football franchise located in Harris County TX..." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No single one holds leverage if there's a bidding war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could drive up that price real fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Rams were up against the cap and had to trade Gurley, other teams would hold all the leverage. The Rams can choose to walk away and keep Gurley. Basically, we just have a hard deadline on making a deal. That's not ideal, but that doesn't strip the Rams of all their leverage. Sometimes, a deadline can prove to be helpful.

Call me a pessimist, but I don't think there's a bidding war or the price being driven up. I would love to be wrong, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duluther Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) I wouldn’t trade for Gurley and his knee and contract unless it was for a pick. Edited March 19, 2020 by Duluther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
