RB Melvin Gordon | Page 2 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Just read an article on bleacher report that the niners could be the dark horse team to trade for him, they mentioned giving up McKinnon but they don't think the chargers take on the cap hit, so the package was Breida and 1 of Shon Coleman or Joshua Garnet for Melvin Gordon, but also would have to pay Gordon, I'm thinking he gets a 4 yr $37 million deal, I think we all agree when Gordon is healthy he's a top 7 back in this league and with Coleman and McKinnon the trio would be amazing, then I'd cut or restructure McKinnons deal next year, thoughts ? I know this is prob not going to happen but fun to talk about..

The thought of Melvin Gordon on our team is enticing tho. Wouldnt be mad either way tbh

Im not paying Gordon let alone a RB over 10 mil like Gordon wants. If they were going to pay a rb over 10 I would rather they gone harder for Bell who would be a ridiculous fit as a runner and pass catcher with kyle

I agree 10 million yearly is way too much, 7-8 while getting rid of Jets contract I wouldn't be opposed too..

Hell No!!!, just like when I only asked this board rhetorically/hypothetically- "Which of our RB's would you trade for Duke Johnson??", and I had a hit man sent to my house just for 'asking' dat ! The 4 we have is good enuff and as most of you said- he doesn't offer anything diff/special with his skillset.

Dude do you not know the difference of Duke Johnson vs Melvin Gordon ? Lol

What do you guys think about him? I think he wants way too much, but who would he be a good fit with? He seems like a good fit for Oakland to form a 1 2 punch with Jacobs, kind of how Oakland had Kaughman and Wheatley before. I dont like the eagles fit, but it arena more likely than an in division rival trade

I drafted this guy in the 5th round. I hope he comes back or gets traded soon

I took him in the 4th because there was a heavy run on RB's. I can see him going to Oakland.

I don't see Oakland trading for him.

Would you give up Brieda and late pick for Gordon ?

Yes. He and Coleman would be devastating . The contract would be the big issue

Gordon is a diva - I like Breida's style better.

I'd give AA and Breida, ONLY if Gordon agrees to a new contract..

Hell no, Gordon is overrated, extremely overrated. San Diego knows what's up... Breida is a better back IMO.
