The Denver Broncos have signed talented running back Melvin Gordon to a two-year deal worth a reported $16 million with $13.5 guaranteed. Gordon, a former Wisconsin Badgers star, did not find the interest in free agency he had envisioned when he held out of four games last season while a member of the Los Angeles Chargers. The star back attempted to leverage his way into a long-term deal by refusing to report, which backfired as he was out on the street looking for a new home this offseason.
From a fantasy perspective, the running back situation in Denver is an absolute mess with Gordon joining a backfield that already consists of Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman.
