Todd Gurley was criticized by a former Rams player earlier this week for publicly airing a grievance about some bonus money the team owes him, but the star running back still wants it to be known that he would like his check.
Gurley shared a funny meme on Instagram recently to make light of the fact that the Rams owe him a $7.55 million roster bonus, but he is quite serious about wanting to be paid. He made that clear when asked about the money on Friday.
#Falcons RB Todd Gurley: "I still need my money. That's what I'm waiting on. …It's all fun and games. But I do need my money."

Gurley also tagged the Rams in a tweet and said his money is “past due.” Former Rams quarterback Jim Everett ripped Gurley for the way he is handling the situation, but perhaps Gurley has some bitterness toward his former team after he was released.
Whatever the case, the Rams are going to have to pay Gurley the $7.55 million if it is owed. He could let his agent handle the logistics, but he apparently wants people to know what’s going on. Former Rams linebacker Clay Matthews also claims he is owed money from the team.
You and me both TG! Better get some interest with that too https://t.co/E8RIOhg7sH

If true, that is not a good look for the Rams.
