“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”
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?
@ChrisPartlow you and the internet concluded that. The GM said I’m focusing on the regular season and not spending my time offering anything anymore
@ChrisPartlow if and when Gordon’s team come back and say, is that 10 million still there? It’ll happen
@wintheweek in your opinion you think Gordon will be back sooner rather than later?
@Papid1987 I honestly don’t know and could be wrong about all my opinions. I just think the Gordon team will explore the market, discover that the grass is not always greener, and figure out a way to play
Best guess is that process takes 2-3 weeks
So really, he's wasting his time holding out?
Its possible taking the 10m away as a ploy for him to come back see if it's still available. But it would have shown better faith keeping it on the table as an olive branch. I see rescinding it as the Chargers flexing their muscle. They are in a win win situation and they know it
The GM has never been adversarial. Nor has Gordon’s agent. It’s not a mean or nice thing. They’re just working through a business negotiation Gordon and Company can now test the waters to see if the GM’s offer was fair or not. I think they’ll conclude it was fair and comeback. Could be wrong in my part, but that’s what I think
It wasn't adversarial, I agree. Until today when they told him take it or leave it. I guess it's just a matter if opinion and interpretation. Time will tell
They both have until Wednesday we can wait
I think that was Telesco’s only way of saying, go see for yourself
