You should be happier now that a team is trying to trade for him. The latter part is my point. I agree with you, but I think that small segment still had unrealistic expectations that the team and Gordon might still work something out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ColoWrex 1,951 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I just can't see another team giving a first, and then having to pay gordon, with the miles that are on him. 1,528 carries between college/NFL and 410 catches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SteelBallin 51 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 bucs for a 2nd makes sense for sure. bucs have the worst rb group in the league 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daethfromabove1979 874 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I guess Duke Johnson got a third so not surprised they are asking for a first rounder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dislimb 1,412 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 As a Bucs fan, I would love to see Gordon come to Tampa and play the David Johnson role in Arians’ offense. Our running backs are trash. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Probably a 2nd with a couple more picks but if it’s the Bucs they need to rework some contracts. They were among the bottom in offseason cap space 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PackerBacker555 943 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Tampa won’t be the team. They have no cap space whatsoever but new regime could get creative Teams I see as potential: Niners, eagles, colts, packers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CrastersCreep 475 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Philly just drafted their RB of the future who has been very impressive all offseason and added Jordan Howard / they will not be the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well it's a negotiation. You don't typically start out asking for the lowest (worst) you're willing to accept. Edited September 4, 2019 by mbell317 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will not be Philly - will people stop linking them. Diehard eagles fan here. They just traded up in the 2nd round for a RB they absolutely love who has had glowing reports all offseason and sent a 6th for Jordan Howard. They will not be giving up additional draft capital and doling out a large contract (as much as I’d love for that to happen as Gordon owner). 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
