The Denver Broncos have a new quarterback in Russell Wilson, and pending free agent Melvin Gordon hinted at at the possibility of re-signing with the team following the news of Wilson’s arrival.
Gordon was a freshman at Wisconsin in 2011 when Wilson transferred from N.C. State for his senior season. On Tuesday, the Badgers shared a photo of Wilson and Gordon on Twitter and the running back replied with the following comment: “My brother 4 Life….. let’s see how this turn out.”
Wilson completed 72.8% of his passes for 3,175 yards with 33 touchdowns against four interceptions in his lone season at Wisconsin in 2011. Gordon rushed 20 times that season for 98 yards and a touchdown before getting a larger role in 2012 and then becoming the starter as a junior in 2013.
Wilson went on to be selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the third round of the NFL draft in 2012. Gordon was selected by the San Diego (now Los Angeles) Chargers in the first round of the 2015 draft. Gordon later signed with the Broncos as a free agent in 2020.
Seattle agreed to trade Wilson to Denver on Tuesday, but if he’s going to reunite with his old teammate, Gordon will have to re-sign with the Broncos. Gordon is currently scheduled to become a free agent on March 16.
