Kickin’ It with Kiz: Broncos gave the money Phillip Lindsay deserved to Melvin Gordon

Ugh, not feeling this signing of running back Melvin Gordon at all. You’re telling me the Broncos couldn’t have drafted 85% of Gordon for way less cheddar?

Mike, Salida

Kiz: I’ve given enthusiastic thumbs-ups to the acquisitions of Jurrell Casey and Graham Glasgow. But $13.5 million guaranteed for a soon-to-be 27-year-old running back coming off a meh season, with a nagging history of both fumbling and injury? Sorry, but that’s stupid money. It’s also an insult to Phillip Lindsay, who not only produced back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons but also has become a heart-and-soul leader in the locker room.
