It was a surprise when the Los Angeles Rams released All-Pro running back Todd Gurley, but not just because he’s a great player.
Gurley received a monster contract two years ago, and his cap hit with the Rams is still over $20 million after his release. Plus, the 25-year-old running back was cut a day before he was set to earn a $10.5 million bonus.
With so many Americans dealing with layoffs amid the COVID-19 outbreak, Gurley too is having trouble getting his former employer to pay what is still owed to him.
He took to Twitter to call out the Rams, saying they are “past due” on his payment:
@RamsNFL past due. Send me money ASAP

If Gurley’s claims are accurate, he would a legitimate gripe with L.A., considering he handled his release with class.
The Rams cut him to save $10.5 million, and to not give Gurley the money he is still owed is not fair to a guy that did so much for that franchise.
