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. |

You are an idiot if you dont think an RB like Saquon Barkley or Adrian Peterson are not worth a 1st round pick.

Reid will get production out of any running back. He's also likely one of maybe 3 or 4 coaches who could do that. He might be the ONLY one.
If you're another team, you do not have that luxury. If you don't have Andy Reid, you need better players. No, Reid doesn't need Saquon Barkley. He doesn't "need" Tyreek Hill. But look what happens when you have Hill and Hunt? Why the hell wouldn't you want that? Saying that you just would never take a RB at 2nd overall is just limited thinking. Taking Fisher over Barkley is ****ing ridiculous. |

When you get wrapped up too much into positional value, sometimes you end up making butt****ing stupid decisions like drafting a Kolton Miller or a Vita Vea over Derwin James.

Saquon Barkley 1,307 yards, 5.8 YPC, 11 rush TD’s; 4 receiving TD’s Phillip Lindsay 1,037 yards, 5.4 YPC, 9 rush TD’s; 1 receiving TD Damien Williams 256 yards, 5.1 YPC, 4 rush TD’s; 2 receiving TD’s Two undrafted RB’s had roughly the same efficiency as a 2nd overall RB. And Lindsay/Williams got nowhere near as many carries or catch attempts as Saquon. Drafting any RB at 2 is reeruned.

Those other ones are dumb, especially Vea. Never really understood what he was supposed to be projection wise? A nt? Atleast with Miller you hope he could be a good tackle but it’s Jon Gruden thinking so who knows |

Yeah because every HC and QB in the NFL are as good as Mahomes and Reid.

You can find elite players in every round for any position. The stats you just posted dont prove anything. |

No RB in the top 5 as a general rule? Fine. I won’t say I’d never do it, but I probably wouldn’t. Even if the Giants didn’t take Darnold, Chubb would’ve been a better option. But I see absolutely nothing wrong with taking a RB late in the 1st. |

The chances of finding an elite qb in the mid to late rounds are much less than finding a running back |

They were stupid enough to think they could build around Eli Manning and win. I guess you feel that you've got a point here when you really don't. |

I still wouldnt just because of the five years of cheap labor I could get from another position Like the Chris Jones situation we’d have been better off taking him instead of trading back |
