There’s no better way for an athlete to express interest in a new team these days than cryptically (and suddenly) starting to follow a new team on social media.
NFL network’s Ian Rapoport reported over the weekend that the Chargers will not resume contract talks until after the end of the 2019 season and that they have given Gordon’s representatives permission to seek a trade. Well, it’s been hardly any time at all and it looks like Gordon might have his eyes set on…
Philadelphia.
LA Times sports columnist Arash Markazi was quick to point out that the 2015 15th overall pick just so happened to start following the Philadelphia Eagles on Instagram.
But wait, there’s more. He also started following some current (and former players). WELCOME TO 2019 PEOPLE!!!!
Football fans obviously had a thing or two to say about Gordon’s actions.
The Eagles signed former Chicago bears running back Jordan Howard, drafted Miles Sanders over the offseason and have just $21,500,720 in cap space, so who knows if they would actually make a run at the two-time Pro-Bowler. With that said… it’s scary to even think about what he could do in an offence with Carson Wentz, Alshon Jeffrey, Zach Ertz and DeSean Jackson.
(H/T FTW)
