Todd Gurley indicates he could sit out season if NFL’s plan for 2020 doesn’t improve

To my knowledge, no NFL players have said definitively that they’re going to sit out the 2020 season just yet. At least a handful have indicated they’ll consider it if the NFL doesn’t do a good job taking care of players, and that number now includes Todd Gurley.

The Falcons’ big free agent acquisition on offense this offseason, Gurley is expected to step in and be the lead back for a team looking to take a big step forward after consecutive 7-9 seasons. As he told CBS Sports Radio hosts Brandon Tierney and Tiki Barber, though, he may not suit up for Atlanta at all this year if the NFL doesn’t come up with and execute on more compelling, thorough plans for the season ahead.
