jrokh 568 Posted August 28, 2019 A Rotoblurb of a reporter speculating on what a player MIGHT do, does not qualify as good news. It is slightly more impactful then if one of us made a prediction, but barely. I am not moving Gordon even one spot based on this "news"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When leg injuries start happening, as they have done with Green, it's usually a sign his healthy days are long gone. With Boyd being the future, I'm not certain how they will use Green going forward. I think they would be nuts to sign him to an extension. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hes had a lot of turf toe, ankle common knee strain..... Banged up a lot but nothing to really suggest he shouldnt come back a 100% at his age Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwentyFourSeven 23 Posted September 1, 2019 https://www.rotoworld.com/football/nfl/player/9032/melvin-gordon Chargers GM Tom Telesco has informed holdout RB Melvin Gordon that contract negotiations will be suspended until after the season. Gordon will now have to decide if his weekly game check ($330,000) is worth risking an injury that would jeopardize a long-term contract. That decision hasn't been announced, but we'll find out shortly. Gordon has to show up by Week 10 for this season to count towards his free agency, so this isn't exactly a Le'Veon Bell situation. With the Chargers bye week not until Week 12, Gordon could miss more than half of the season if he chooses. If so, Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson will split work in what should be a 60/40 timeshare. SOURCE: Daniel Popper on Twitter Sep 1, 2019, 3:18 PM ET Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 1, 2019 Hmm, make 5mil or lose 300k a week. Such a hard decision lol. What a goofball. Also Ive heard from some people that he doesn’t have to play at all to accrue a season because it’s a 5th year option or something. No one seems to know the actual truth. Also don’t be delusional and think you have a stud if he shows up week 10. The team won’t just upend their chemistry for a guy with no desire to play for them. Plus he is he’s a huge injury risk after missing so much time and going full speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JagFan 97 Posted September 1, 2019 It’s refreshing to see the “boss” letting the “employee” know who’s in charge. It’s about time. I never understood how an injury prone RB thought they had a case for a new contract. Now, that said, I could see the Browns trade for him to go along with their team of overrated head cases. I’m going to enjoy watching the Browns do what they do best....and that’s be the Browns. Not a player on that team worth having at their current ADPs, and it’s all going to come apart thanks to the new, in over his head, head coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fumbleweed 422 Posted September 1, 2019 What the Chargers offered Gordon was fair. He's not a top 5 back...in the real-world NFL, he's a top 10-15 back. He should have taken their offer. It was plenty fair like I said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
