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.
Pete Carroll is an excellent fit to coach a guy like melvin up. Great mentor for second chance guys and would be a great revenge arc for someone cut from a shit team. I like the whole thing, tbh

The only team on this list that could actually realistically use him is the Rams. The rest of these teams have RB pretty figured out 😂

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.
Ion think nobody wants that man services if he gone keep fumbling the ball like that , especially a contender

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.
Seahawks don’t need him .. come on
