The Denver Broncos wish they could press the reset button on the season. It has just not worked out for head coach Nathaniel Hackett’s Broncos. After their latest loss to the Raiders, the Broncos just waived their running back, Melvin Gordon.

Denver brought in Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson as the quarterback in the off-season. Broncos Nations had high hopes for this NFL season. However, things have gone horribly wrong. And it’s not the quarterback, Wilson, who is taking the brunt of the blow.

Melvin Gordon was a good teammate and an inspiration to the younger players in the locker room. However, some Broncos fans were excited at the prospect of Gordon’s exit.

One fan compiled all of Gordon’s fumbles into a single clip. However, the 2:2o minute video didn’t make the best case for the running back. Some fans think Melvin can find a good fit in the Seattle Seahawks and Pete Carroll’s side will suit his playing style.

Joining Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp at the LA Rams is a viable option for Gordon. However, opposing fans didn’t think this was a great opportunity for their franchises.

Melvin Gordon’s availability is not exciting rival franchise fan bases

The Denver Broncos put veteran RB Melvin Gordon III on the waiver wire after their loss to divisional rivals, the Las Vegas Raiders. According to NFL reporter Ian Rapoport, the 29-year-old was cut mainly because of fumble issues. Gordon has been one of the main parts of the Denver offense in the last 3 years. However, his recent fumble incidents make this a no-brainer to some.

Melvin Gordon has five fumbles after Week 11 of this NFL season. This includes the one he had in the 22-16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Against the Raiders, Gordon rushed for only 31 yards on 8 carries and managed zero touchdowns.

Melvin Gordon’s next destination is a hot topic of discussion in the NFL world. However, it’s not the desirable kind of hype that surrounds Melvin. Based on fan and media speculations, the Kansas City Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks and the LA Chargers could be likely destinations. However, fans don’t want Gordon based on his recent reputation of turning games in the opposition’s favor.
