Todd Gurley wants his money from the Los Angeles Rams, but the star running back isn't taking the same course of action as ex-teammate Clay Matthews.
Gurley does not plan to file a grievance against his former team over an unpaid roster bonus, a source told ESPN's Vaughn McClure on Thursday. The new Atlanta Falcons running back is apparently owed a $7.55-million roster bonus, but offset language could reduce the payment by $2.5 million.
Matthew, a free agent, reportedly filed a grievance against the Rams for $2 million of unpaid guarantees after being released in March.
Gurley was cut later that month, just two seasons after signing a four-year, $57.5-million extension. He quickly signed with the Falcons on a one-year deal but has yet to take a physical.
Earlier in April, the former Offensive Player of the Year called for L.A. to send his cash:
@RamsNFL past due. Send me money ASAP

Gurley emerged as the NFL's best running back during his stint with the Rams, leading the league with 3,924 scrimmage yards and 40 touchdowns from 2017-18.
But the 25-year-old's production and role decreased in 2019 amid long-term health concerns about his knee.
