Former Wisconsin legend Melvin Gordon has a new NFL home. The nine-year veteran signed a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens earlier today.
The deal is worth $3.1 million and is pending his physical with the team. The Ravens are Gordon’s third NFL stop, after spending five years with the Chargers and three with the Broncos.
The former Badger has totaled 6462 yards during his pro career on 1567 carries. The numbers include 4.1 yards per carry, 2467 receiving yards and 69 combined touchdowns. He earned Pro Bowl honors during the 2016 and 2018 campaigns.
Gordon now joins a Ravens backfield led by former Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins. He will likely battle with Gus Edwards and Justice Hill for carries in specialty situations.
We’ve agreed in principle on a 1-year deal with RB Melvin Gordon, pending a physical❗️
