Lamont Jordan? Sleeper? (1 Viewer)

Early season boom turned into a bust and a Raider cut. What does his future hold? How injured?

 

[Bears_Man2]

After seeing him the first few weeks of the year, I was shocked how quickly he fell out of favor.

I think he'd be a nice backup option for the Packers if they aren't settled on Jackson.

 

[ratbast]

for the right price he might be a steal if a team can get him for a RBBC.

What happens if a team like the Bears sign him and dont draft a RB?

What about a team like Arizona?

Where would you guys slot him if he is slated to start?

Do you think he's toast? Did he wuss out? Was he in the doghouse?

I wonder if Herm would bring him to KC as LJ's backup.

I'm a Jet's fan and I can't recall hearing any bad blood between the two.

There are a lot of places he could go but I think he'd end up somewhere he could get some playing time, maybe Carolina to split with DeW.

He was great in that type of role with Curtis Martin when playing for the Jets.First team that comes to mind would be Atlanta who'll need to be able to run the ball with either Redman or Ryan at QB...Jordan and Turner would make one hell of a RBBC.

Where would that leave Norwood?

 

[brednbuddah]

good question.

I really like Norwood and kept waiting for him to get his full shot last year over Dunn, but based on that I think he may not be in Atlanta's plans...

If he couldn't beat out Dunn, how's he going to beat out anyone else? If Norwood is starter capable, why'd they sign Turner?

Norwood will keep his roll as a change of pace back with Turner, I don't see Jordan going to Atlanta.

sounds logical, but you think Norwood is going to be on board with a COP role when he never really got his full shot at being the starter? He'll be looking to get out and be the starter for another team.

Depends on how much Turner shows, everyone seems to think he is a stud RB in the making but I think a few red flags went up at the end of last season. Not sure the Atlanta situation is ideal but Turner / Norwood makes for a good duo, and Norwood may still get his looks, just not a feature back.

VERY I agree DeW will not be able to handle the load in Carolina, that would be a perfect RBBC for Jordan

There's a lot of questions. I doubt he'll be a fantasy option for the forseeable future. He's been out of shape for two years, has added a tweaky back to his resume, and drops a lot of passes.

He was effective in the Raiders ZBS, but less effective than the other guys. He does a bit too much dancing in the hole.

If he's on your roster, may as well hold him, and see where he winds up, but I'd trade him for anything I could get, personally. His value may spike a bit when he hits free agency. I think I'd try and move him to the owner of whoever he winds up backing up.

One thing: While I think there's a good chance he gets cut post-draft, the Raiders may delay cutting him. They don't owe him a roster bonus or anything, and can gain the cap room by cutting him anytime before the beginning of the regular season. There's good reason to hang onto him. Injuries could hit the team, and Jordan provides some good depth, something you really can't say about any other position on the team.

 

[Gridiron King]

Detroit would be a good fit for Jordan. Just hopfully he and Kevin Jones don't get injured at the same time?
