I have no problem paying a RB if they earned it. Not seeing it. What MG has going for him is they dont have a viable RB back behind him. It's a weak group without him. So he does have leverage and he could get paid.

They see this as their window and have always been high on Gordon. An aging vet QB with a young defense in their prime. Within the next year or two they're going to have to pay their young talent and Rivers' arm already started to fade down the stretch last season.

Rivers could fall off the cliff at any point.

I didn't watch a lot of their games last year but I know that Austin Ekeler scored a ton of fantasy points for me as a backup RB. I still have him this year, so being a starter would be even better. Go ahead and sit out Melvin.

Yep, Ekeler is a lot better than just a back up IMHO.

Why do I hear "Traded to the Jets" in my mind?

We have a running gag in my fantasy league about Melvin Gordon. We draft via auction, and one of the owners was using his phone. When he put in a bid for Melvin Gordon, he was trying to type a bid in the 20s, but he accidentally fat-fingered it and did 123. He was also not very observant for some reason, because he didn't notice his bid was $123 when he pressed the submit button.
So we're all being having a nice time and quickly boosting up the price in $1 or $5 increments, and out of nowhere.... SOLD! $123 We were all stunned for a few seconds, then laughed our asses off at him. Also, a bunch of people changed their team names to something related to 123, like "Easy as 123" or "I'd buy that for $123!" |

Gordon is playing the leverage game and in reality he's right to do it. The Chargers don't have the fan base or the history like the Steelers to make a stand and get supported in it.
The Chargers are a team that desperately needs to matter right now. With their aging QB, in a lot of ways he has them over a barrel here because of their overall situation. |

Think about this situation through John Dorsey's eyes. They have two great RB's and one pretty solid RB in Cleveland. Hunt is in the last year of his contract scheduled to make $975K and has been injury free for the most part of his collegiate and NFL career. He trades Hunt to the Chargers for cheap just to spite the Chiefs, The Bolts trade Gordon for equal or better compensation, and Hunt gets to play against the team that prematurely cut his ass twice a season. The Star and the media in general can kiss my ass.
