The Melvin Gordon Saga - Holdout Over

[blueman]

After looking 2020 salaries, the franchise tag could easily be 13 or 14 millions for a RB.
At 10 M, MG seems more reasonable.

Yeah, that's why he should take it (if it was offered), put that money in the bank.

Id trade Gordon for a starting OLT in an instant. And throw in a #3 to #6 wr.

Throw in Patton and Dzubnar to sweeten the pot...

[Topcat]

How much up front?

How about a $2 mil signing bonus and escalators for playing 14+ games and playoff games actually played?

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

Fellow San Jose Chargers Fan...YES!

These are more than likely players we cut.

Welcome to TPB.

LT has MG at #5 in the league.
L. Bell at 7 and D. Johnson at 8.

L. Bell at 7 and D. Johnson at 8.

LT maybe a little bias because Bell and Johnson have both produce way more consistently when on the field than Gordon, and Johnson has played against stacked lines due to sub-par QB play

Yep... :; ...it was my feeble attempt at a joke...

The RBs market is at least questionable.
2019 5 best back average salary: 8.6 millions
2020: 13-14 millions
2021: 12.2 millions
Why MG want to negotiate now ?

[blueman]

I don't blame him, it just sucks.

[Maniaque 6]

You have a 2019 5th season to play at 5.6 millions.
You know that the RB's market will be at his top in 2020.
Why not waiting for 2020 to negotiate ?
