In the league that I have Lev Bell, I also have Philip Lindsay on the bench.

I have Lindsay too. Been trying to swap handcuffs with the guy that has Gordon and Latavious Murray but he won't do it. I doubt Gordon would get suspended for more than one game if at all. Maybe this will make him budge.

Melvin Gordon not practicing. I’m told he reported to Broncos headquarters this morning and met with Vic Fangio. The coach sent his starting RB home for the day. Probably for best given circumstances.

The gist of it is that he's a difficult asshat, and the organization may or may not be tiring of it.

Yeah sorry on a meeting all day so only glanced at it. But I guess they're saying it was a move that may help the Saints later contract wise. So not relevant to this season.


If I read it right and if it's true, that is.

I did not read it as hinting that he's about to be cut. What I read was that his guarantees for next year and the next year are now void. That means that if he is injured or cut, then he does not get that guaranteed money. The only way he gets paid is to stay on the roster.

If that's the case and IF he's not crazy, and IF he's got a smart agent, he'll fly right from here on out.

All good

Hit up the worst team in the league and gave him Fuller, Devonta Freeman and Tonyan for Thomas and he accepted. I can see it. He's got all kinds of holes to fill and going for a hail mary I suppose.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire has seven carries from inside the 5-yard line (4th-most in NFL). They've resulted in zero TDs and a loss of three yards. Seems almost impossible.

His breakout is coming.

Vic Fangio on Melvin Gordon III's status for this weekend:

"Everything's open right now. We hope to have a decision by tomorrow or the next day." Fangio said he did not want Gordon to practice today as the Broncos and NFL gathered facts.

Vic Fangio on Melvin Gordon: They’re investigating the situation and who he might have been around (COVID) plays a part in this. Also everything is on the table with a suspension. He could be inactive Sunday against the #patriots. Decision should be made in next 2 days


quote:

Adam Gase on rookie RB La'Mical Perine's increased role: "Perine’s definitely going to get a bigger role. Frank (Gore), you’re not going to lean on him as heavy a load. … Getting Perine really involved is going to be critical for us."

Good to hear about Perine. I scooped him for $1 just to see what happens. Not expecting much because of Gase/Jets, but we'll see.
