@SalaryCap101: Interestingly, Gurley's #Rams deal includes lang tht says club will pay his salary in 15 & 16 even if he's on Non-Fball Inj List due to knee
@SalaryCap101: Gurley's #Rams deal also guar's his 15 & 16 salaries even if he's term'd due to knee. Effectively giving him 2yrs of security against knee.

RB Todd Gurley's Rams contract is for 4 years, $13.823 million. Every penny is guaranteed. He gets a signing bonus of $8.313 million.
Even if Gurley's on non-football injury list for 2015 and '16, the club pays his full salary in those two years.

Gurley's entire contract with Rams is guaranteed
• By Jim Thomas
http://www.stltoday.com/sports/foot...cle_994401dc-cbc3-5429-a678-c6c158bb2217.html
The contract for Rams first-round draft pick Todd Gurley, the running back from Georgia, calls for him to make $13.823 million dollars over four years.
The entire contract is guaranteed, with the Rams even including language in which they agree to pay his full base salary in 2015 and 2016 if Gurley's on the non-football injury list in either or both of those seasons.
(That's a worst-case scenario guarantee if he has further issues due to the knee injury suffered late last season with the Bulldogs and subsequent surgery.)
Included in the overall contract is a signing bonus of $8.313 million. Gurley, the 10th overall pick in the draft, counts a modest $2.513 million against the salary cap this season. His cap number never is higher in any one year than $4.398 million over the life of the contract.
With the Rams announcing the signing of their entire draft class last week, all those contracts are now on file with the NFL Players Association.
Other than the top two picks, Gurley and right tackle Rob Havenstein, the only guaranteed money for each member of the draft class is signing bonus money. In addition to his signing bonus money, second-rounder Havenstein has his base salary guaranteed in both 2015 and '16.
Here's the contract breakdown for the 2015 draft class. In some cases, numbers are rounded off:
RB Todd Gurley Georgia 1st round (10th overall)
4 years, $13.823 million; $13.823 million guaranteed; $8.313 million signing bonus.
OT Rob Havenstein Wisconsin 2nd round (57th overall)
4 years, $3.970 million; $2.198 million guaranteed; $1.147 million signing bonus.
OG Jamon Brown Louisville 3rd round (72nd overall)
4 years, $3.251 million; $764,816 signing bonus.
QB Sean Mannion Oregon St. 3rd round (89th overall)
4 years, $3.251 million; $626,796 signing bonus.
OT Andrew Donnal Iowa 4th round (119th overall)
4 years, $2.777 million; $496,936 signing bonus.
OG Cody Wichmann Fresno St. 6th round (215th overall)
4 years, $2.370 million; $90,484 signing bonus.
LB Bryce Hager Baylor 7th round (224th overall)
4 years, $2.352 million; $72,140 signing bonus.
DE Martin Ifedi Memphis 7th round (227th overall)
4 years, $2.351 million; $71,096 signing bonus.
In addition, the Rams signed sixth-round wide receiver Bud Sasser of Missouri to a four-year, $2.393 million contract which included a signing bonus of $113,736.
When Sasser was waived off the non-football illness list because of a heart condition, the team agreed to let him keep the signing bonus. But the rest of the contract was voided once he was released and not claimed by another team.
So the only part of Sasser's contract that counts against the team's 2015 cap is the $113,736 signing bonus.
With all of the rookies signed, the Rams now have $6,648,852 in remaining salary.8cap room for 2015.

The Rams hope that running back Todd Gurley can play right away. The contract he signs reflects a somewhat lower degree of optimism.
Per a source with knowledge of the deal, Gurley’s contract includes a commitment from the Rams to pay Gurley’s full salary in 2015 and 2016, if he lands on the non-football injury list in both seasons due to the knee injury that occurred while he was playing college football at Georgia.
The contract also gives the Rams a way out from under the final two years of the contract, if the team eventually determines that Gurley won’t be able to recover from the torn ACL. If the deal is terminated due to the pre-existing knee injury, the Rams are on the hook only for the 2015 and 2016 base salaries.
Otherwise, the base salaries for all four years of the contract are guaranteed.
The contract has offset language for the guaranteed money, a device the Rams typically don’t use in their first-round rookie contracts. But this isn’t a typical situation. Even though the Rams felt good enough about Gurley’s knee to roll the dice with the tenth overall pick, they’ve protected themselves financially against Gurley not being able to fully recover from the injury.

Breaking down Todd Gurley's rookie contract
By Nick Wagoner
http://espn.go.com/blog/st-louis-rams/post/_/id/19413/breaking-down-todd-gurleys-rookie-contract
EARTH CITY, Mo. -- The St. Louis Rams signed running back Todd Gurley to his rookie contract last week as part of their annual tradition of signing the bulk of their rookie class at the same time.
Under the CBA, there's not much mystery to these deals anymore. That makes it easy for teams like the Rams to take their time, educate their rookies and then hand over the big checks that come in the form of signing bonuses.
Gurley said he has no huge plans for his newfound riches, though he said he'll probably buy his mother a house and could take a trip sometime in the next month before returning to St. Louis to continue his rehab from a torn left anterior cruciate ligament.
"[Signing] was cool, I was definitely smiling," Gurley said. "I was happy to get it over with and officially be a part of this organization."
All told, Gurley's four-year deal offered almost 14 million reasons to smile. The contract is worth $13,8323,180, all of which is guaranteed and includes a signing bonus of $8,313,224 for the draft's No. 10 overall pick.
Here's how it breaks down (again, all money guaranteed):
2015
Cap number: $2,513,306
Cash: $8,748,224
Base salary: $435,000
Prorated signing bonus: $2,078,306
2016
Cap number: $3,141,632
Cash: $1,063,326
Base salary: $1,063,326
Prorated signing bonus: $2,078,306
2017
Cap number: $3,769,958
Cash: $1,691,652
Base salary:$1,691,652
Prorated signing bonus: $2,078,306
2018
Cap number: $4,398,284
Cash: $2,319,978
Base salary:$2,319,978
Prorated signing bonus: $2,078,306
