I'm still lost. Are you saying it costs them an extra 3m to release him, or that they saved 3m by releasing him?

What if they trade up for Tua in the draft?

I don't know Spanos at all but Tu'a is by far the riskiest pick in the entire draft. With Corona going around, no one knows his health. He has never finished a year of college ball healthy. He played with the best talent in the NCAA.

With that said, he's elite and I'd do it in a second. He'd cost the best parts of two drafts though and I'm not sure how big Spanos's balls are. I'm not used to that kind of salary so if I was fired two years later for fucking up my draft I'd still be one happy MF'er. Spanos, probably less so.

Jesus Christ, why? They're basically saying he isn't fit to play at a pro level anymore?

After 4 today he was gauranteed 10.5 million. I imagine his health is a concern as well

Ok well now it makes perfect sense. Still, what a disaster.

I mean in hindsight yeah, but they made a Superbowl and were trying to make a run at it for the next couple of seasons. If they win a Superbowl within that window they'd have considered the whole thing a success. It's a calculated risk and it certainly didn't pay off, but it's not the last time a team will do it.

Pending a physical I'm betting he will be on his way to Tampa Bay soon enough

The Rams made every single bad management decision they could and went against all 'common knowledge' concepts in the NFL;
Never pay a RB big money...Gurley.
Never use top picks to get FAs and if you do this, at least do it rarely....Cooks, Ramsey, Peters.
Never overpay for one year of production.....Goff
Never pay old players big.....Weddle.

Eventually a host of really terrible decisions comes back to roost.

Sean Payton tests positive for COVID-19

The NFL is taking COVID-19 very seriously, and on Thursday an example of a positive COVID-19 test from within NFL community underscored that it should be.

Imagine he is pretty healthy but being in that over 50 bracket is a scary thing

Right now getting a physical is extremely difficult (and wouldn't be quick) and other teams wouldn't be willing to trade for him without a physical given his history. It really was a pretty logical move if they felt gurley didn't have much of a chance of becoming his old self.

The Gurley contract is possibly the worst contract of all time. How was Snead not fired?
