Thread: 2020 NFL Free Agent Thread

Gurley got 1 year at 6 mil because he is no longer a 25 carry guy and he was already paid 7.5 mil this season by LA. Plus...it was an opportunity to play in his home state. The Falcons had a lot of things going for them to get that deal.

The Shurmur offense needs a back with elite receiving skills (which Lindsay doesn't posess). So what were the options to fill that void, outside of Gordon? I mean, we could have traded for the always injured David Johnson and his 13 mil per year. Or brought in a washed up Davonta Freeman?

Relax guys, this isn't a Case Keenum type deal.

The options are the draft and it always will be the draft for those kind of positions, especially a pass catching back. If your staff cant find good RB's in the draft find new staff......Paying this kind of money to Washed up RB's is a waste.....

Broncos sign RB Melvin Gordon (2 years, $16 million; $13.5 million guaranteed): B Grade


Interesting thoughts some of what was talked about.....but he seems to rate the siging favorably. I do not share this setiment at all, but I will have no problem eating crow or saying I was right at the end of the year, just like with flacco.....

I don't think anyone is going to go in with the expectations of him putting up McCaffrey numbers. If we get 800 rushing, 400 receiving and 10 TD's out of him...it's a win. And we can say we can just draft a guy to do these things, but A. there is never a guarantee that guy is there when you want him, and B. the only decent back Elway ever got from the draft was a UDFA. I'd rather invest 8 mil and get a proven commodity. And there is still room to add guys like Breeland or Amukamara or Darron Lee.

I don’t have a problem with the Gordon signing but I’d rather we’d spent the 8 mil toward signing Logan Ryan or some other CB. Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the Lindsay/Freeman combo. No, Freeman hasn’t played as well as Lindsay but Freeman isn’t a “fast guy” either. He’s a downhill runner and I think he’s fine in that role.

I’m not against Gordon, but we probably could’ve gotten the same production for less with a later round draft pick. So far it’s the only signing/trade that has me scratching my head. I still think we need another CB.

I love this. Dude is a baller. 3.8ypc doesn't concern me given that booty oline he played behind. He's diverse. And he's an end zone magnet.

That's awesome. My buddy is a huge Saints homer and was scrapping all over Sanders last year cuz he hates that the 49ers surpassed them. Can't wait for him to suddenly change his mind.

yea. . . he might do okay with michael thomas taking some of the attention. . .
