C.Biscuit97 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Gordon played this pretty bad. I never really saw a back that was super special in him and he’s had like one good year. I won’t be shocked if he shallows his pride shows up and tries to have a great year. a guy in one league drafted Gordon and Elliott. He’s either a genius or idiot.

I may be mistaken, but I think he has been hurt pretty often also. Unless I'm confusing him with someone else. I don't keep up with the Chargers but so much.

Zeke and Bell are idiots but they are way better players than Gordon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that in one of my leagues. Elliott I expect to play right away, Gordon by week 4 at the latest. Considering how far they fell I'm more than happy with the value. I actually took Elliott in the 2nd round in 3 different leagues. I had no doubt he would sign a new deal in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Really irks for me that players are now holding out on their rookie deals. Isn’t the whole point of these rookie deals is to have some certainty re the CBA? These contracts are basically bargained for ahead of time. Plus, as others have said, Gordon has maybe had one good season, and is injury prone. I don’t think the chargers really want to re-sign him; he’s a guy you let walk as a free agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These rookie deals are collectively bargained for; if the union wanted to protect those under rookie contracts better, they can bargain for it. i have less of an issue when guys are on their second deals, as that’s basically a “private” contract between the team and player. Do whatever you want then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerovoltz Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 If this is a topic eslewhere please delete etc...I hadn't seen it here.... Considering that Gordon has been told by the Chargers he can play on his current deal or he can seek a trade, I have thought that there aren't a lot of teams that could both afford and need a RB at this point, but Buffalo seems to be a team that meats the criteria. Would you guys want him? If so, what are your thoughts on a contract and trade compensation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StHustle Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 RB's take a beating and therefore have short careers while playing a key skill position, so I understand why the want to get paid. HOWEVER, RBs that can help you win a superbowl come a dime a dozen so unfortunately it isnt worth overpaying for these guys. Gordon is clearly showing he wants to get paid big or will not show up to work so therefore it's a no from me dawg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) No because contracts mean something. They are important. Second, has there been a player who's forced themselves out of a contract, got traded, got a new contract, and fulfilled it? These guys just want to get paid and once they do, they aren't going to risk their lives for the money anymore. If I were the NFL, I'd collude against any player wanting to force themselves out of a contract. Edited September 3, 2019 by dpberr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
