STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Gurley's $58M deal collapsed after two years due to knee injuries.

Gurley exemplifies a cautionary tale of running back second contracts. He was just 23 when the Los Angeles Rams signed him to a four-year, $58 million extension in 2018, but the Rams released him just two years later after lingering knee issues robbed him of his previous explosiveness. JJ Zachariason uses Gurley as a primary example of the risk inherent in long-term running back investments.
