I feel like taking a chance on a draft pick and what we have already far outweighs trying to resurrect Gurley. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My name is “g-dawg” so of course I am a Gurley fan. Having said that, an arithitic knee isn’t something that just gets better - you have it for life and it gets worse with time. Any money thrown at Gurley is likely just throwing it away - he will either be a part time player or full-time and gets hurt and on the shelf for half the season. Gurley might can have some good games but don’t think he can have a good season. If I was GM, I would make him an offer but he would probably be insulted by it. Probably would be $3mm/yr with incentives to go to $10mm/yr and a 2yr deal with $6mm guaranteed. Falcons would be better off just drafting a young guy. He is 25 and on a down year had 1100 yards and 14 TD. At 5-7 mill it’s worth a risk. It’s less than we gave Carp Tandy Gossett 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Romfal 11,525 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 can we use a retirement fund to pay for his geriatric knee? roguebeaver, 1989Fan and hjerry 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spts1 6,615 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 My post in another thread about this: Gurley shouldn't have played another down for Georgia after getting suspended for a jersey autograph. I would have told them to kick rocks. That injury he suffered when he came back after suspension has never healed. He is lucky to have made the money he has made. The Rams don't want him at the current contract price, so the Falcons can sign him to a prove it deal. A win for both parties if it worked out... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roguebeaver 2,938 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 If we didn’t get Gurley to Atlantie then, why now, when he ain’t the same Ole dawg, doing the same ole trix?! He’s and older La’ramdawg, with less trixability! Might as well have kept that ole Dev’Free dude, tho not really free! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fowler is a much larger risk due to contract size. But you guys are acting like he is in a walker. He gets swelling due to arthritis. It’s expected. But his speed, vision, power and hands are all still good. On a short term deal with 5-6 mill per year, he is a worthy signing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

1989Fan 15,420 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Falcons and Dolphins had the most trade interest before the Rams released Todd Gurley. Gurley's contract was bad enough that a trade was never going to happen, but they are sensible landing spots. The free-spending Dolphins have since signed Jordan Howard, but that might not be a deal-breaker. Atlanta would be a homecoming for Gurley, and the Falcons currently have one of the league's worst backfields. Gurley, of course, does not have good 2019 film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On a short term deal with 5-6 mill per year, he is a worthy signing He was MIA last two games of the 2018 postseason, longer a season goes on, more chance that he's hurt. 2019, he had 3 games under 25 yards rushing, I'm guessing none of the highlights came from those games. What if he has 6 under 25 games next year? Fowler doesn't have arthritis in his knee and fills a much more critical role for the team. You can find a RB in the 3rd round that can give you 75% of what Gurley does for a fraction of the cost. Much harder to do that with an edge rusher. If the Falcons sign him, really hope your take is the correct one. hjerry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If healthy, he is a beast. There is still gas left in that tank. We could get 2-3 solid years out of him.
