If we could trade Dion Lewis and a 3rd for Gordon it would be amazing, and make us Super Bowl Contenders regardless of Mariota's play. Would take all the pressure off him and Henry, set our motto as a ground and pound team that chews up clock and has great defense. The downside of course is having to pay him, but having a backfield with that much talent would be amazing. I'm all for it. Would you trade for Melvin Gordon? What would you be willing to give if you were Jon Robinson? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reo Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Wouldn't surprise me at all if they were shopping Henry actually. I'd be astonished if they did it for Lewis and a 3rd. Edited September 4, 2019 by reo titanthakur 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirLanceALot Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 I’d do it TNTitans, and titanthakur 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomachek Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 A running back with durability issues that wants 10+ mil, no thank you. C_Train, and Justafan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scine09 Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Of the teams listed, Baltimore makes the most sense. I think the Titans make the least amount of sense of those 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams will hate to play us. Rotating them both is just an amazing idea. Why waste all that money on QB when you can get 2 amazing RB's that will be just as effective with a game manager QB. It's an idea to counter this crazy QB money going on. We can get a game manager at QB and use that money on having 2 beast RB's and still have lots of money left. cenj 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanthakur Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Just now, headhunter said: Both RBs want new deals, no moron is gonna pay 2 rbs top money Look at it from this perspective. The Rams are spending roughly 48 million a year on their QB + RB position. If we give Mariota 22 mill a year (fair) that can allow us to pay Gordon 11 mill a year and Henry 9 mill a year. Still saves us 6 mill compared to Rams per season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team wins because of a running back or a running game. pat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
