Melvin Gordon Trade [POLL]

Postby WhatWouldDitkaDo » Mon Mar 30, 2020 7:56 pm

I just sent Darius Slayton, Darwin Thompson, and the option for him to swap 2021 2nds if mine ends up being earlier for Melvin Gordon (team in sig). Both of us are probably top-3 seeds in the league, so any potential pick swap should be minimal.

I wanted some RB depth behind McCaffrey and felt like I had enough WR depth to make this move. Plus, I already had Lindsay, so it kind of made sense to consolidate the DEN backfield in case the rumors of DEN wanting to use Gordon like a workhorse turn out to be true. Thoughts?

Melvin a bit risky this year, but this is a great price. MG all the way.

Thanks all! I originally offered Lockett + 2nd for Gordon + 3rd, but he actually preferred the Slayton deal since he has Damien Williams on his roster.
