Surely you don't think some team is going to give him a big contract Agreed, barring a massive production increase, he’s at best getting a 1 year prove it deal. I’d still put in a claim though. More upside than Ryan Grant and he played out when healthy this year. I year $4m got a 6th rounder in 2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not the Gordon he was. Don’t think he’s much better than Allison at this point. Allison is a pro-bowler compared to Gordon at this point... 15 hours ago, Shanedorf said: hmmm...He costs nothing because he's probably worth nothing.

He could end up surpassing MVS. He'll never have his burning-fast 4.37 speed, but he IS quick (4.48 40 at 6'5"). Let's see what he does next year, that will be the real test. It's a flat out tragedy that ESB got hurt. He had a great TC and was ready to take a leap IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the issue with him is at this point but the potential will get him a look somewhere. I won't be upset if we don't try at all, I'm just not opposed to it. Not sure how it would work with 12 though, with the individual expectations he has Edited November 1, 2019 by JBURGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing to remember with New England, they do things BB's way and don't give a crap how you feel about it. It would be an infinitely more energetic vibe here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle, eh? It looks like several other teams with worse records passed on the guy. That says a lot IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I overheard that SEA was 28th in the claim chain and someone here mentioned that we were 29th? I wonder if we would have (or did) put in a claim. Probably not, but its unlikely we'll every know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt realize that. I've always advocated for GB to take a chance/shot at Gordon. Obviously its never happened and has he gets a bit longer in the tooth and further from his truly productive years - not sure what he's got left or is working with anymore. SEA's putting a nice array of receiving options on the field though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESB was my favorite out of the rookie receivers. I'm now really upset we put him on IR for Davis who's no longer on the roster. With Allison having such a disappointing year it would've been nice to have ESB out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure Allison is a pro-bowler compared to me at this point. He's been a complete no-show in a year when the team needed him to step up.

ESB's worst trait is he doesn't play special teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
