The Melvin Gordon Saga - Holdout Over

[wu-dai clan]

He's a stud. Of course

Ha. Ha. Good call Sir.

I just noticed that the Packers shockingly released DL Mike Daniels this morning, resulting in a cap savings of 8.3M this season.

Just reading between the lines here, but I wonder if this is to make room for adding someone with a big contract, someone like Melvin Gordon. Something to think about, at least.

Probably not, but you never know...

A friend of mine is a huge Packer fan. I told.him to cut somebody else with a $5Mil contract, give is a 2nd & they could have him.

Gordon did play college ball at Wisconsin, so there is a connection there and the Packers are in "win-now" mode as Rodgers isn't getting any younger.

I guess it depends on how enamored the Packers are with Aaron Jones and if they think he's good enough to carry the running game basically by himself. A Gordon/Jones tag-team approach could be pretty formidable and would give them a strong running game to lean on while their young WRs are developing.

yes, as opposed to the Chargers who are in win never mode with an aging qb

Jay A jayi has been cleared to play on his repaired knee. If Gordon does commit to holding out, ajayi might be a good addition to the committee. He could probably be signed to a one-year deal relatively cheap. He is a veteran, something the platoon without Gordon lacks, and he has a ring.

I might be in favor of Ajayi, except for several well documented "bad boy" incidents. There was the arrest at Walmart for shoplifting; the lawsuit for trashing some rich dude's mansion at a party; and of course his injury history....pass...

We don't need a RB.
We need a RT who will block for JJ, Ekkie and Newsome.

Okung is on NFI. What is that?

Non Football Injury.
Okung has a medical condition.
He will speak to the media tomorrow.
We are hoping for the best for you Russell.

If you recall,
Chris Hairston,
a semi-serviceable ORT/Swing Tackle for us a few years ago,
had to essentially retire because of a blood condition.

I woke up in a good mood today.

Then I lunched my second front windshield on my truck
in the last 6 months, hitting a rock, or a stray bullet, or something.

With safety camera/Go Pro devices attached,
it's $1k a pop...now this..we knew about MG III....talk to me Russell.

Telesco said Chargers placed Russell Okung on active Non-Football Illness list, so he still counts on 90-man roster. Per Telesco, Okung dealt with a pretty serious medical issue in June that he's still recovering from.
