Los Angeles Chargers – Running Back Melvin Gordon III

Let us be clear — we are not endorsing the Dolphins sign Melvin Gordon for $10M+ per season. It’s not a good idea to sink that kind of money into a back, especially one that struggles to create without effective line play. For all of Gordon’s production, he’s averaged under 4.0 yards per carry in four of his five seasons in the NFL and would be coming into the worst offensive line situation in football as a free agent this offseason.

But if the price for Gordon comes down a bit, which we expect it might considering the surplus of backs available in April’s draft and some troublesome trends across the NFL with big second contracts for running backs, the Dolphins do have the disposable cap room to check a big box in their needs list with an established veteran.
