Melvin Gordon appears to want the Broncos to trade him and we totally get it

Melvin Gordon Broncos Chargers

In a tough season like the Broncos, many established veterans will understandably want to jump ship. When even a struggling Russell Wilson neglected to use his favorite catchphrase after a devastating loss to the Chargers, you know the situation is dire at Mile High.

Judging by some of Melvin Gordon’s latest Twitter likes, it seems he agrees with an apparently frustrated Jerry Jeudy. In fact, Gordon’s recent social media activity says the two-time Pro Bowl running back probably wants to take his displeasure a step further. How, do you ask?

Gordon’s Twitter likes say he certainly wouldn’t mind a trade because he wants out of a growing chaotic situation in Denver:

Oh, man. I don’t know how realistic Gordon’s demands are (he hasn’t formally asked for a trade). Or if he even really wants off the Broncos, and these Twitter likes were more reactive frustration after a 2-4 start for the team.

That said: It’s hard to blame Gordon if he does want a trade. The Broncos don’t look like they’re going to turn it around, and it seems he might have been unceremoniously benched mid-game by Nathaniel Hackett during Denver’s matchup against the Chargers on Monday night. (Note: Gordon has four fumbles in six games this season.)

It’s a simple mix. A lousy team plus limited playing time equals boiled-over frustration for a talented veteran and the potential desire to play elsewhere. Stay tuned on this one because I have a hunch it will not get any better for the Broncos or Gordon any time soon.

NFL fans weren't surprised by Gordon's apparent desire for a trade through his Twitter likes
