“So now, barring an unexpected trade, the #Chargers say Melvin Gordon can play for $5.605 million or not play at all https://t.co/ibxORCSDK5”

10mil yr would have put him right after DJ

Gurley is 14 or so a yr. Bell 13

@kevintrinh15 you’re right (it’s a thought situation) reminds me of the Bell and the Steelers but still an RB doesn’t have years to play in this league (right) just like Zeke is doing - and just like Bell - you have to fight for what you’re worth, because the owner wont

I totally get him trying to get paid. This is his one big deal. Rookie contact until now. This next deal will be 4-5 yrs. Hes 26. After this deal he's 30yrs old. So I get it. It's just he's not as good as those other backs and the offer is right.

Chargers done messed this on up.

Maybe some other teams pays him but I don't see it

Is ekeler a good weekly flex? Over Lindsay ?

@freedilly so long as Jackson doesn’t explode and they don’t bring someone in... Abso-Fucking-lutly

Yep, chargers should give up the farm for a guy who can't stay healthy, who can barely rush for 950yds. Lol. Yep. Other players to pay. Salary cap league.

Imagine turning down $10 million a year? Who's giving this man advise?

@dlettieri well then LA can sign a bad ass like Stevan Ridley then

@BrokeBLACK There it is! Terrible agent

Currently drafting eckler or jj for my next pick

@hopesfall Ekeler

Gordon has been injured in the past and that's a concern but the fact that he misses games and is still able to put up stats that out him in the top 6 running backs shows how good he really is the fact of the matter if they want to win a Superbowl then need him

@freedilly Ekeler RB2 Lindsey Flex

They aren't giving up the farm to get him they can sign him

@dlettieri facts. They need him this year. The MOST.

But for them to say all talks are on hold till after the season power move or stupid move with zeke looking like he’s getting paid sometime tomorrow

@maddmaxxnyg disagrees

It’s BS. Melvin Gordon will be there week 1 alongside Ekeler.

It's a power move for them to say that because they are saying unless there's a trade you either play for our contract your under or you don't play and lose money they are banking on the hopes that he doesn't find a trade and realizes hell lose money if he doesn't ay for them

I think RB’s contracts should be max 3 years, not 5...
