This is q great great pickup. One of my favs over the last few years. Who cares about the money. We still have plenty to spend on a cb or ol or anything else, if we choose.

The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
- John Elway“When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”

Gordon missed the first four Los Angeles Chargers games last season due to a contract holdout and then averaged less than 3 yards per carry in the first three games he did play. For the season, he had just one 100-yard rushing game on his way to a career-low 612 yards rushing.
The 26-year-old -- he'll turn 27 in April -- said that looking back, if he could do it again, he likely would have come back to the Chargers sooner, and the experience put a "huge" chip on his shoulder as he arrives to the Broncos.

rest - https://www.9news.com/article/sports...5-5984d1233975ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Through his first five NFL seasons, Melvin Gordon’s ears couldn’t tell where he was playing when his Chargers matched up against the division rival Broncos.
His first two years in San Diego, there would be a good 40 percent Broncos fans at Qualcomm Stadium for Charger home games. It got worse during his three years at the soccer stadium in Carson, Calif., where an estimated 55-70 percent Broncos fans would attend.
As for games played in Denver’s home stadium, let’s just say Chargers fans didn’t travel here as Broncos fans did there.
“Well, you definitely have a way bigger fan base,’’ Gordon said in a conference call with a Denver-based media group Friday. “Since I’ve been a Charger, I always felt like it was an away game when we played the Broncos. And pretty much any team.

I don't know why we never saw this from him. But he was a non-factor in the passing game. I'm not putting this on him. I think it's primarily design. While he was here they never played to the screen or the outlet...but they often ended up in 3d and behind the curve, and he caught something for a 3-4 yard gain because our QB and offense could never convert a third down.
I wish we could have seen him in space more than we did, in better designed plays. I think this would have made him a plus acquisition, leaning into him in the passing attack, rather than exposing his fumble weakness.

Joke's on me there, huh?
