Players react to the Falcons signing RB Todd Gurley

On Friday morning, Falcons fans woke up to news that the team had signed two-time All-Pro running back Todd Gurley to a one-year, $5 million contract.

It’s a welcome addition to an Atlanta team that just released starter Devonta Freeman earlier this week. Let’s check in on Twitter to see how fans and players are responding to the Gurley signing.

Todd Gurley posted a photoshopped jersey swap between him and a referee after the pass interference no-call that knocked the Saints out of the playoffs.

That alone is worth the $5M the Falcons are gonna pay him. pic.twitter.com/KRzrxxQyoc

I told my wife, a Georgia grad with somewhere around .01 interest in the NFL, that the Falcons signed Todd Gurley

She said, “Wow! Now that’s something that would make me want to go to a Falcons game.”

Just a wild concept https://t.co/3oX6dylLKO
