“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”
Im really hoping Todd Gurley looks good as ever week 1
Not trying to posture here just saying it is very possible
@ChrisPartlow I hope you’re wrong and he’s back by week 4. Hell they have any easy schedule the first 5 weeks and at worst should be 4-1. If they lose 2 of the first 3 games, I think the $10 mill this season will be back on the table.
So Melvin isn’t at risk of losing face or saving face. His agent and the Chargers are in disagreement. Once Melvin and his agent test the waters and see what’s out there, they can easily reverse course. Melvin will just say I was trusting the business people
It’s nowhere near personal for the GM or Gordon
Why in the world would he be back by week 4 the way this is going? Serious question
He has more leverage the longer the season progresses
That's interesting @wintheweek. If he can spin it someway, maybe there would be hope. But would his people allow him to play for 5.6 and likely be run into the ground this season, lessening his value for next year?
@ChrisPartlow it's clear though he wants money now
Would u trade ekeler for Edelman?
Scroll up a hundred messages and you’ll see my thoughts
So why wouldn't he just wait for rb N to get hurt?
Trade ekeler for Edelman?
@EbonyLee depends on your team is constructed are you good at rb and need a wr?
And I do think its personal. The media declares winners and losers. And the chargers tabling negotiations today shows they are frustrated with him and they wanted to spank him, so to speak
Yes I got McCaffrey, fournette, josh Jacobs
Whos your WR?
Kirk, golloway, aj green, Allison
Ya i woulddo the trade
Thanks

@ChrisPartlow @thebigjabroni long story short. The Chargers GM is confident he offered top market value. He’s now essentially stated, “it’s unfortunate you dislike our offer. Permission to seek greener pastures offered.””if you don’t find them, 5.6 million is waiting with another conversation next year”
@ChrisPartlow @thebigjabroni he’s letting Gordon’s team discover hs value for themselves. When they inevitably discover the Chargers were the best offer, expect a resolution
Why did they take the original offer of 10m off the table?
