It seems Todd Gurley isn’t the only former Rams player who says the team is past due on his payment. After Gurley tweeted at the Rams to “send me money ASAP” on Wednesday night, Clay Matthews piled on with a claim of his own.
Matthews quoted Gurley’s tweet and said “You and me both TG,” adding that he should collect interest due to the supposedly late payment.
Gurley was still owed a $7.55 million bonus after he was cut, which he apparently hasn’t gotten yet. Thanks to offset language and him signing with the Falcons, the Rams don’t have to pay $2.5 million of that.
As for Matthews, his roster bonus was worth $2 million when he was cut, but he too has offset language in his deal like Gurley. That means if Matthews signs a deal worth at least $2 million with another team, the Rams won’t owe him anything.
According to ESPN, a team source said the Rams are not past due and are still in compliance with the contracts signed by Gurley and Matthews. Both players will get the money they’re owed – or in Matthews’ case, if he’s owed anything.
