Nzoner's Game Room>Melvin Gordon Wants a New Contract or Out of the Chargers

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.

Poor chargers are never going to win this division for the next decade or longer

They have to decide if they want to choke up a bunch of money to Rivers next season.

But I wouldn't pay him. If he wants that i'd trade him for whatever I could get.


DON"T DRAFT RBS IN THE FIRST ROUND EVER!!!!
I agree with everything but the first line. Good RB's are a dime a dozen and he hasn't even proved to be worth the dime.

Melvin leaving SD would be a good thing, right? Let us pray.

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.
Why would Dorsey take on extra money and a guy demanding money now who is a lesser rb than hunt to spite the chiefs?

He's not an elite RB, but he thinks he is.

Give him 13 million a year or something. I hope they do. Fully guaranteed.

Heh.
Yep !

Didn't say that Dorsey would be the team that the Bolts trade Gordon to... My point was that Dorsey gets compensation from a crowded backfield, and the Bolts get rid of injury riddled Gordon for equal or better compensation. But, that doesn't matter, YOUR opinion is the only one that matters anyway, douchebag

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!"
The first year we did an auction draft was during prime Adrian Peterson days, so I put out Chicago's Adrian Peterson first. He ended up going for something like $53 when the real Adrian Peterson went for a few dollars less.

You're a butt fucking moron, still. Butt fucking moron.

Your entire butt fucking stupid premise was that he wasn't going to do what was in the best interest of the Cleveland Browns to get back at the Chiefs, which is a stupid fucking conclusion that can only be made up by a fucking moron like yourself.

Tell me more about your dumbass idea though. He's so mad at KC that they've done a trade recently and talked heavily about a lot of other ones.

After speaking to a handful of sources, #Chargers’ stance is dug in with Melvin Gordon. Barring a change in his camp’s expectations, an extension isn’t coming soon. His threat to potentially hold out will be put to the test. The extension straddling the next CBA isn’t helping.

Heh.
I never said anything about how much he's worth or how good of a RB he is overall. I just refuted your claim that he holds their offense back.
