Falcons finalize deal with RB Todd Gurley

The Atlanta Falcons agreed in principle to a one-year deal with former Rams All-Pro running back Todd Gurley weeks ago, and finally signed him today.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Gurley’s contract has a $3.5 million base salary, with a $2 million signing bonus and another $500,000 in potential incentives:

Todd Gurley’s one-year contract with the #Falcons — signed today, pending physical — includes a $2 million signing bonus, $3.5M fully guaranteed base salary and $500K in incentives. The #Rams still owe him another $5.05M, the portion of a gtd roster bonus not covered by offsets.

Gurley, 25, has played in 73 games over his five-year career with the Rams. He’s rushed for 5,404 yards and 58 touchdowns, with another 2,090 receiving yards and 12 touchdown receptions.

The Falcons could still add a back in the draft, but Gurley’s signing took away the need that was created after Devonta Freeman’s release.
