They released Todd Gurley. Just another in a series of bloated RB contracts that go badly.

I would bring him in on a super cheap one year deal and let him battle for snaps with Drake and Edmonds.

funny how the perspective on NFL GMs can change so quickly

12 months ago, Les Snead was a genius. Today, not so much.

less impactful, but they also just released Clay Matthews

No. He has knee issues, and is a shell of himself.

Just because he is a big name does not mean he is any good. It's just like David Johnson.

Wondering if this move will impact Kenyon Drake's eventual price?

I don’t see how it would.... If I was Drake I wouldn’t even bargain with another team just take the 8.7 sitting on the table.

Transition tag price is an average of the top 10 RB contracts. Without Gurley & Freeman (#'s 2 and 5 out of the top 10)...... That number drops quite a bit when they are removed.

This question is tough to answer IMO but maybe someone knows.

It would be dumb for Drake not to consider other teams. Gurley is a perfect example as to why he should entertain offers. The $8.7 is good for one year. A longer term contract with more guaranteed money makes a lot more sense than one year especially if he gets hurt.
