The Eagles could use some more depth at the running back position and a former Pro Bowl could have mutual interest after his release from the LA Rams.
Sean McVay and company are moving on from Gurley after deciding not to pay his $10.5 salary, which would have been guaranteed at 4:00 pm.
We have released Todd Gurley.

Gurley has dealt with knee problems and his level of play has dropped over the past three seasons, leaving the Rams no choice but to move on from their star running back.

During his five seasons with the Rams, Gurley rushed for 5,405 yards, 58 rushing touchdowns (first in the NFL) and 7, 494 yards from scrimmage.
Gurley’s not the same running back but could offer a change of pace for an Eagles offense that currently only has Miles Sanders and Boston Scott on the depth chart.
