Melvin Gordon owner got cold feet and traded for Ekeler and Devin Singletary. I feel like this should be a veto. Thoughts?

based on?
One dude gets insurance for his Gordon pick, other dude sees something in Singletary especially after the shady cut. I don't see the issue

just cause you dont like the trade doesnt make it collusion or veto worthy

Ekeler is a stud PPR back especially if Gordon is on his way out

Singletary is a 3rd round back that is being given the starting job

Gordon is a holdout and no one knows where his next team will be. Most likely it will be to a downgraded offense.

Owner appears to be getting decent value for a fairly volatile situation that could worsen for him.

Melvin Gordon was the #7 back In football and only played 12 games (missed week 7,13,14,15).
Eckler was the number #26 back in football and played in 14 games. In weeks Gordon missed he had 10.5 pts (week 7), 8.1 pts (week 13), 17.9 pts (week 14), and a whopping 0 in week 15. Through week 7, eckler was averaging 12.67 points per game WITH Melvin Gordon and he actually hurts his average in week 7 when Justin Jackson comes into the mix from 12.67 down to 12.43 (10.5 pts in week 7) because the offense leaned more on Allen and Williams. So as you can see, Eckler was extremely fantasy relevant last season.
As for Singletary, he is potentially being thrust into a starting roll for a young offense and should get tons of opportunity to have top 20-30 upside.

Gordon is unquestionably a top 10 back but he also has injury history, and is far from a lock to return anytime soon. Not sure in what world this would be veto’d. Each side could potentially benefit but like the side getting the two younger players much more, Gordon has significant risk.
