The Melvin Gordon Saga - Holdout Over

[jamrock]

HUH? I don't think there is one person that doesn't think we are NOT better with MGIII. The question is how much better GIVEN THE COST, which can have huge trickle down effects on the roster down the line. . I think most of us here on the same page as TT. Sorry that page is not in your book.

You're dead wrong. I am actually on the same page as TT as it turns out. I think $10-$11mm is fair depending on what's guaranteed and I think we're much better with Gordon. I'm not the guy "meh"'ing Gordon

[jamrock]

Wow, and he didn't take it?? Is he mental?

We don't know if that was actually offered

You're correct, we don't, but splitting the difference between Johnson & Freeman puts him at $10.6+. That would have been my max offer & I'm not even the 1 juggling all of the numbers to try & fit under the cap. His agents have gassed up his head & it's going to backfire.on him.

[JOJAX85]

My thoughts exactly.

When reports came out he wanted 13-15MM you said "pay the man" we are in win now mode. I fail to see how TT is on that page. If he was Gordon wouldn't be so "disrespected".

Fwiw....I think a 3 yr extension gets done for approx the terms latest reported. If it is 4 yrs it will be a palatable cap hit to cut him before tje 4th sesson. The front load bonus amount will be what gets the deal done. I do not see his $ passing KA, despite MGIII ridiculous notion that RB is the 2nd most valuable position and that he has proven to be a "great" back, which he has not.

Looking into the future.....IF henderson the rookie 3rd round rb out of memphis shows he is a player, gurley will be cut after the 2020 season, regardless of his knee issues.

[wu-dai clan]

Yeah. Where's he driving? Lebanon? Raiders fans' neighborhood?

Lebanon No.
Raiders fans' neighborhood yes.
I live in San Jose and have been known to mingle amongst Raider fans in disguise.

[wu-dai clan]

Oh, I missed that. If he had anything like I had, he would not be on the field for at least a year because of the blood thinner.

Blood clots, eh ?
Scary !

Since Jay Ajayi cleared by Doctors would you take a risk on him? At a good price

If I'm TT, my best offer to MG3 is 3 years, with an out after two years, $8 mil a year.

$10-$11 is a top dollar amount IMO. even then, it must be team friendly with an easy out for the Bolts to go that high.
