Ravens add Melvin Gordon

Melvin Gordon Headshot

The Ravens signed RB Melvin Gordon to a one-year deal worth "up to" $3.1 million, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The guaranteed money on the deal is surely much lower. Gordon turned 30 in April and mustered just 3.5 yards per carry on 90 attempts for the Broncos last year. He ranked dead last among 48 qualifying RBs in NFL Next Gen Stats' Rush Yards Over Expected Per Attempt. Gordon will simply compete for a roster spot in Baltimore behind J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. He's not worth rostering in any fantasy football format.
