Clay Matthews is filing a grievance against the Los Angeles Rams over $2 million in unpaid guarantees, according to sources.

Matthews and Todd Gurley, who were released by the team in March, have publicly vented their frustrations over non-payments.

The linebacker's two-year deal with the Rams included $5.5 million in guarantees, and he is still owed a $2 million roster bonus.

A source involved said the Rams could argue that language in the contracts of Gurley and Matthews allows a short-term deferral of payment for tax purposes.

The Los Angeles Rams still plan on paying the money due to Todd Gurley and Clay Matthews following their release by the team.

"They're definitely owed money. That money is guaranteed, we're going to pay them," Les Snead told NFL Network on Wednesday. "There's some language in the contract of exactly when you pay them and that's what we're adhering by. What I do know is both Clay and Todd earned that money and they're going to get that money."

On April 8, Gurley wrote in a tweet: "@RamsNFL past due. Send me money ASAP" and Matthews retweeted him, adding: "You and me both TG! Better get some interest with that too."

The Rams still owed a $7.55 million roster bonus to Gurley, though they don't have to him $2.5 million of that due to offsets. Matthews is due a fully guaranteed $2 million roster bonus, but his contract also has offsetting language for $2 million.

Jared Goff has acknowledged that there's been internal discussion about his contract with the Los Angeles Rams being restructured while adding he's open to it.

"I think that's a better question for Kevin [Demoff] and my agent," Goff said. "I think there's been some stuff about being able to clear some cap space. And if so, I'm all for it. I don't see why not. It doesn't change anything for me and helps the team out."

The quarterback signed a massive deal worth $134 million over four years with $110 million guaranteed last year.

Los Angeles Rams center Brian Allen says he has tested positive for the coronavirus.

A Rams spokesperson confirmed the diagnosis, adding that Allen felt slight symptoms but now is feeling much better.

The 24-year-old is the first active NFL player to publicly acknowledge that he tested positive for the virus.

The Los Angeles Rams have agreed to trade Brandin Cooks and a 2022 fourth round pick to the Houston Texans for a 2020 second round pick.

Cooks has previously been traded by the New Orleans Saints to the New England Patriots and then to the Rams.

Cooks signed a five-year, $81 million contract extension before the 2018 season.

The Rams will incur $21.8 million in dead money by trading Cooks.

In two seasons with the Rams, Cooks caught 122 passes for 1,787 yards and seven touchdowns.

Todd Gurley and Clay Matthews have claimed on Twitter that the Los Angeles Rams are behind on sending out paychecks.

Both players were released by the Rams on March 19.

"@RamsNFL past due. Send me money ASAP," Gurley wrote in a tweet Wednesday.

Matthews retweeted Gurley, adding, "You and me both TG! Better get some interest with that too."

The Rams believe they are in full compliance with the language in the players' contracts, according to a source. The team declined to comment.

The Los Angeles Rams have moved on from Todd Gurley and plan to spread the ball around at running back going forward.

They won't devote a large portion of their cap at the position.

"What we do want to be is a team that utilizes more than one workhorse moving the ball, with different skill sets," Les Snead said.

The general manager acknowledged that Gurley's salary cap number was simply too high to justify keeping him.

"Ultimately, our vision is to keep us contending not only in the short term, but the long term. Releasing Todd, we felt, was the best thing for the Rams," he said.

The Rams currently have three running backs on the roster -- Malcolm Brown, Darrell Henderson and John Kelly.

Both the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams will be featured on 'Hard Knocks' this summer, according to league sources.

It will mark the first time two teams are featured on the series and assumes that the NFL will hold training camps as scheduled.

The announcement had been scheduled to be made at last week's NFL annual meeting, but the meeting was canceled because of the pandemic.
