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.
