RB's are such a product of their system, unless they're just a special ass player but even then, I dunno how much i'd wanna pay one.
Even the "special ass players" are only special until they aren't.

Todd Gurley, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

What you said is valid for sure but he’s a fine player

I would trade him and move on if I were the Chargers
Aaron Rodgers sure could use a 3 down, pass catching RB.

You're right about that.

Hopefully, the Chargers pay him the richest contract in NFL history for the 12 games he will play this year when he is not hurt.

The problem is, teams just don't want to trade much for a RB when they're so easy to find.

Truth. With that said, they’ve been an organization that has struggled to find one.

I think it's more their coaching staff hasn't been able to utilize the ones they've had.

I think LaFleur is way over his head there too so it may not get better.

The issue here too is that Gordon just has zero leverage. Who's giving up a reasonable pick AND a new contract for him?

If he doesn't show up the first week of camp he has to repeat the last year of his contract just like Chris Jones. So his leverage is even lower.

I'm not sure though, he's on his fifth year option. Does that change anything?

I don't know. If it is all rookie contracts it should not.

1st round RBs that flame out don’t have their 5th year option picked up, but keep ****ing that players are overpaid chicken.

Good. Hope he becomes the highest paid back in the league and sucks up their cap for years.

Amen to this.

If I was a good team I'd have no issue in spending a low 1st on a running back.

I'd treat them as a disposable talent. Never give one a second contract unless its on the cheap.
