The Melvin Gordon Saga - Holdout Over

[Formula 21]

Texans just traded for Duke Johnson from the Browns so Gordon's options continue to shrink.

Duke Johnson got his wish.

The Browns traded the veteran running back to the Texans, the team announced. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Houston will send Cleveland a fourth-rounder in the 2020 draft that can become a third-rounder, per a source.

I am still surprised HOU considers Lamar Miller to be a feature back.

so with this trade does MG net the bolts a 3rd with a conditional 2nd?

Pretty fast for a big guy...

Looked at some college clips. So so 10-yard split as evidenced by proday.....but dude is hard to take down at LOS and has a second gear. These traits bode well for our o-line.

Jeremy Cox has a great athletic profile.

As a football player, Steve is not enamored by the lack of wiggle.

That's a take from someone with a serious scout's eye.

I'm sure we'll all get a good look at him tonight. I hope he wows us.

I too am looking forward to how things shake out this preseason.

Enjoy the show 'Roo.

Means there's no team left who needs him.

here's no team left who needs him.

I can see Tampa or Miami, but are they willing to give a 3rd with it being a conditonal 2nd, the problem is they have the need but they have many other needs Gordon isn't going to be a guy to carry a team like that he needs pieces around him. With that being said if Gordon is going to continue to hold-out we probably will not get a trading partner until someone starter goes down for an extended time or the season, that seems like the only way the Chargers can make a trade without getting fleeced!

Yeah but he isnt a very elusive runner. If he gets free he can take it but he isnt isnt a make ya miss type runner from what ive seen.

Id trade Gordon for Kenyan Drake. Both in their last year of their deals but Drake would be cheaper to resign. Of course dont know if Miami would do it but i would if they were interested.

If you watch the highlights of Cox, what you'll see is a tough back who can sometimes break tackles, and once contacted, frequently bulls ahead for an extra yard or two. I see Cox as a pretty decent goal-line threat, or 3rd and 1 threat to get that first down. He also can occasionally break loose for longer gains. Look:
