Bring in Gurley in Exchange for Draft Capital?

Rams 2021 2nd rounder and Gurley in exchange for the lesser of Miami's 4th round picks in 2020 and Kalen Ballage. Cut Gurley after 2021; the dead cap is just over $4mm at that point.
Something like that might work.

Tua time!
This is about wanting to get out of that money due to medical.

I would take their 3rd round pick to unload the cap hit he will come with.

I think the suggestion is that the Rams give us picks. The only cost to us would be cap space.

Think the guys shot to be honest. Some decent backs to be had in rounds 2 and 3 of the draft. We may need an experienced back too but it’s not Gurley.
Seems like we would have an out in 2022 with a 4.2 million cap hit. Between 2021 and 2022 he would cost us 17.4 million. For 17 million/2 years I'd think we could get a serviceable player, like a guard.
Question is, could we draft a better guard with the Rams second/third round pick and come out ahead in the long run?
I'd consider it for their 2nd in 2020. Probably a hard yes for their 2021 1st.
Foles will be harder to get rid of.

Anybody still believe Gurley is a better RB than Zeke Elliott? I never bought into that from day 1 and feel more confident about it today.
I still believe Zeke is more durable and will play at a high level for longer.

I loved him coming out of college but with his knee issue and his contract there is no way the Dolphins should be using draft picks or cash to trade for him.

The ONLY reason I would entertain this is with a Rams 2nd round pick this year OR a 3rd this year AND next year … (with the cap space we have and the new agreement on the horizon I would use the money if not needed elsewhere)
otherwise pound sand
We still draft a RB between 1c and 2b .... Gurley wouldn't have to carry the same load as in the past and could be a wildcard type contributor if used that way ...IMO

Every second contract to a running back is atrocious. Tennessee is about to make the same mistake with Derrick Henry. Dallas made the same mistake with Elliot.
In all fairness, the original post said that Miami would be getting the draft pick in exchange for eating Gurley's contract. I still wouldn't do it though.
