broncofan48 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 At $5million? Sure. Not a fan at this price at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAngryAmerican Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Probably could have found a RB in the middle rounds who could produce the same in a time share with Lindsay as Gordon will and saved ourselves $12M. Oh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ11 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I think Gordon is meh at best as a runner and a slight to moderate upgrade over Freeman. Is his receiving significantly better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorClean2k0 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Yeah that's a little much, but it seems like we just aren't huge fans of Royce. I like taking pressure off of Lindsay, and Gordon is also an excellent pass catcher which I think is something being lost here. This says to me we are looking to target our RBs a little more in the pass game this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutler06 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 This has a feel of something that could blow up in their faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutler06 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 This also takes away a lot of money that we could have marked for bigger need FA's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. The biggest problem is that I’d bet dimes to dollars that Elway will now pass on RB in Rd 3-5 when it was could have found a difference making talent - Akers, CEH, Gibson, etc. where we had 4 picks in Rd 3-4 in the 77-120 range. The numbers game meant at least 1 top 6-7 RB was likely going to be there. Getting a lead back with rookie level contracts is one of most exploitable market inefficiencies around. Instead we are likely passing on that opportunity in one of deepest top end RB classes around. Ugh this is 100x worse than letting Janovich go, if that scenario comes to pass. The $ could have been spent better elsewhere for sure, but the lost opportunity cost if we pass on this deep top end RB class is going to hurt way more. Meh.

BroncoBruin Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I would have been okay with this for about half the price and no guarantees stretching into Year 2. Why are we paying a running back?! We are short two starting WRs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutler06 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Betcha we could've gotten WR Breshad Perriman for that contract and he'd have a bigger impact IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomaxgrUK Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) What a ridiculous move. What data is out there to suggest this is even a below average decision? Looked shot last year and the tread (including College) is astronomical. Worst Elway move in a very, very long time.

I know they will probably draft a WR early, likely with their first pick, but even still spending $13M guaranteed on a RB with injury and production concerns was a major mistake.
