Veteran running back Melvin Gordon, one of the stars of the 2022 Seattle Seahawks season, was waived by the Denver Broncos on Monday and has since cleared waivers to become a free agent.
Gordon has helped the Seahawks’ draft stock tremendously by repeatedly fumbling in critical situations, most notably at the goal line against Seattle on opening night and then near the goal line in last Sunday’s loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Melvin has fumbled five times in just 115 touches and also has three drops as a pass target. Fumble number five was too much for Denver to tolerate and they chose to part ways.
