Since a somewhat surprising release from the Los Angeles Rams, Todd Gurley has committed to a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons.
Following a move that delights a large number of local Dawgs and Dirty Birds, the Georgia Bulldog alumnus will wear red and black in Georgia for at least one more season.
Gurley took the news in stride on Thursday, playfully tweeting about having been fired on his day off. He agreed to terms with Atlanta the following morning.
After his contract with Atlanta was announced, the former Bulldog standout provided parting words to the organization that drafted him.
Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire first reported Gurley’s expert session in subtle pettiness.
Georgia faithful took to Twitter following his release with asserting that Gurley would be a great fit for the Falcons, who recently released tailback Devonta Freeman.
The next day, football fans who exist in the middle of the Falcons-Bulldogs Venn diagram got their wishes fulfilled.
