If it happens this is gonna hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 He left Baltimore without a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 They recently gave Gus Edwards a new contract, so this will still be a RBBC with Jackson leading the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) I honestly thought he had already signed in Detroit. As a Dobbins owner I'm hoping he doesn't land a deal, even if I think his best days are wayyyy behind him.

True and that's a life-long cost but he also is only 26 and has been paid $70 million in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League_Champion Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 His RB1 days are long gone but he'll still find a job because he knows how to find the end zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stethant Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Talk about a tale of two seasons last year. First half - 9 TDs in 9 games. After their bye - total dust. His yards were never impressive but the TDs saved him. I'd be skeptical this year....until KC adds him lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEH from 20 to 20 and then Gurley inside the 20. Would make CEH's value dip quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't avoid him I took him at the 1.01 in 2 dynasty leagues and he helped me win 2 ships that year he went bonkers in the playoffs so I can't really complain. If I was a smarter player I would have traded him right before he got injured and landed the moon, stars and sun for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is closer to $50 million according to this site, not sure where DMD got the $70M figure from, still a lot either way, but $70M is 40% more and not an insignificant difference. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/atlanta-falcons/todd-gurley-16734/cash-earnings/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, but the 2020 yearly cash ($5,050,000) is already included in the career earnings, and I don't think he earned any money in 2021 from that dead contract with the Rams. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but I'd expect the Career Earnings page is the accurate amount. I checked the OverTheCap site which shows a similar $51M amount https://overthecap.com/player/todd-gurley/3858/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about Gurley, CMC, Zeke, etc. It seems as soon as they are signed, things just don't go right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyrckstar Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Would be tough to take JK. The guy would probably get 65% of snaps. Gus would get 35%. Gurly would eat into both snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMD Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hard to say, really. Zeke's may end up a decent value though DAL is more of a passing team now, so maybe he's a luxury. Gurley and Le'Veon Bell were bad deals. If CMC doesn't get back on track this year, then yeah, he's not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Underdog, for the million dollar contest. (It might be 3.5 million, I’m not sure.) anyways, I drafted against a guy who took Pollard in the first round. I don’t know what in the hell that was all about, but I’ll take Pollard in the slot all day over guys like McKissic, Darrell Henderson, Etienne, and Nyheim Hines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see what happens. I'm a Cowboys' fan and liked what I saw from Pollard last year, however, I think we get a return to form from Zeke and therefore, prefer to have Etienne, Hines and McKissic (slightly) over Pollard.
