The Melvin Gordon Saga - Holdout Over

[SDBORN]

hard ball

Go TT! Stick it to him.

If he wants to seek a trade at this point, fine. Let him find terms the Chargers FO agrees with. TT has the upper hand.
Doubt Gordon finds someone who will pay what he's asking either way.

I'd hate to be a Dolphin fan right now. The team has given up before week one. On the bright side, our game at Miami just got easier.

We always suck when we play there. So I really hope this gives us the upper hand. IMO we need to win at least 3 of our 4 first games to start the season. Colts and fins are 2 must wins. Gotta take advantage early.

I dont think anybody is going to trade for Gordon. Houston paid a ton for Tunsil and Stills but got RB Carlos Hyde by trading one of their scrub OT's. They were in need and opted for a cheap option. Gordon wants too much and teams dont want to give up a high pick for him.

Id trade him for Trent Williams but the Redskins dont need a RB.

Right now, apparently nobody wants Gordon, at least not at $12+ mill a year. As the season progresses, there is a possibility that if a team's bell cow back gets hurt and is out for the season, that will increase the pressure on coaches and GM's that are under the gun to win or lose their job. That's when caution is thrown to the wind, and it may be MG3's only chance...

Yep. That's what I was thinking when the holdout began. It is possible injuries and short supply at some point this season would allow it to happen. Pressure needs to mount.

If I were MG3, I'd be calling the Colts.

1. Highest cap space.
2. Newly retired franchise QB.
3. Great, young OL.
4. Extra 2nd round pick in 2020.
5. Chance to stick it to your former employer in week 1.
6. Average starting RB

I know you like to stock up at RB.

NYJ already grabbed Smallwood from PHI.

You seeing anyone interesting ?

Pope can always be a RS for now.

How about to the Texans for a couple 3rd round picks? (2020 and 2021)

I wonder if that came out of the blue or if the team had warned him ahead of time that he had until the 53 man roster was set to accept the offer.

Would love to have one of their OL.
