Melvin Gordon Wants a New Contract or Out of the Chargers
https://www.google.com/amp/s/thebigl...act-trade/amp/
Melvin Gordon, entering his fifth season in the NFL and thus still on his rookie deal, is dissatisfied with his contract with the Los Angeles Chargers and is taking those frustrations public: Los Angeles running back Melvin Gordon has informed the Chargers that unless he receives a new contract, he will not report to training camp and he will demand a trade, his agent Fletcher Smith told ESPN. Elite backs in the NFL persistently face this issue. The five-year deals for first round picks lock them in at below market wages, and then when they hit their mid to late twenties the teams say they are nearing the end of their useful lives. Last year, Gordon missed four games with an injured knee, but when he was playing he averaged over five yards per carry. Gordon is slated to make $5.6 million this season. Off the top of my head, if they could make the compensation work the Packers would be a great fit for Gordon. He is from and played college football at Wisconsin, and is the threat to catch passes out of the backfield that Aaron Rodgers has been sorely lacking. |

Chargers are an Adam Vinatieri **** up from being 0-3.
I am not worried about them at all

They’re arguably better off without him. |

Justin Jackson is averaging 7.9 ypc in limited action so far, and Austin Ekeler is at 4.2 with about double the carries (with a 5.1 career average ypc).
Yeah, bring back Melvin Gordon and his 4.0 average. The rest of the league welcomes him onto your team.

Former 1st rounder spends the first 3 years of his career being an overhyped, overpaid bust - finally has one decent season (where he had as many games below 50 yards rushing as he had over 100) and thinks he's gonna convince the Chargers to throw record money at him.
There are some real dumb people in Melvin Gordon's ear, man. Come back, don't come back - nobody cares. You're as fungible as fungible gets.

So we know we're gonna get the inevitable chargers win 3 or 4 games in a row or a late season winning streak from them where we'll have to hear all about them winning the division or whatever?
Then the same preseason shit next year, right? |

Looking at the Charger schedule, they scream 7-9. And that's being generous.
Could the Chiefs legit have the division locked up by week 14? |

Someone dropped him earlier in my fantasy league so I picked him up and stowed him away on IR. I got no problem using him as a bye week back.
