Rams ink Gurley to 4-year extension reportedly worth $60M

The running back market has been reset, but not by Le'Veon Bell.

The Rams signed star Todd Gurley to a four-year contract that will keep him under contract with Los Angeles through the 2023 season, the team announced Tuesday.

Details of the deal weren't officially released, but a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the extension is worth $60 million with $45 million in guarantees.

Gurley's guaranteed money is the largest given to a running back and his average of $15 million per season is the highest in the NFL, added Schefter.

The 23-year-old exploded during his first season under head coach Sean McVay, rushing for 1,305 yards and 13 touchdowns while adding another 788 yards and six scores through the air.

Gurley's All-Pro efforts earned him the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award. He also finished second in MVP voting to Tom Brady.
