Gordon's contract situation? Since he is under contract, I'm not sure how that would be one of the main factors affecting this season. Since I am one of the ones lukewarm on resigning him (mostly due to how much he will want), having him in a prove it contract year is not a bad thing.We do not play modern football.

We don't know how it will play out. I am thinking in terms of his motivation and of the cap ramifications. I watch with some apprehension.

Guys tend to play better in a contract year, assuming they don't sit out. MG has made some very soft rumbles about not playing - my bet is he does. This is more 2020 and beyond. I agree that $6M/yr won't get a deal done - why would he even think of signing a deal like that now when top RBs make double that much? He can hit FA and either they tag him for top 1-year dollars or he locks in a guaranteed deal >$40M with at least $30M guaranteed (jmo - guessing here like we all are). He won't get Gurly money but it will be >> $6M“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

I will be surprised if TT gives him the contract Gordon wants.
It is kinda chickenshit, given MGs play so far, but RBs get chewed up, and TT will likely want to wait and reassess later.We do not play modern football.

Nobody gets the contract they want. But everybody has a minimum they won't go below. What's Gordon's minimum. And what's the Bolt's maximum. I'm hopeful for a solution. Gordon is one of TT's guys, one he traded up to get and one who has performed well. That gives me hope.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.
Build Back Better.
