He's saying Dorsey has a surplus of RB's, and basically hates the chiefs... So is theorizing he trades Hunt to the Chargers just to spite the chiefs.... The Chargers then trades Gordon to a 3rd team (not back to the Browns) for similar compensation for what they gave up (for Hunt). It's all about the "FU to the Chiefs" conspiracy theory. |

Why would he be so mad about getting paid to sit on his ass for 6 months and waltz right into the job where he has total power (that he was never going to get here)? Maybe step out from the tin foil fortress, buddy. That's before ever even mentioning the Spanos are ****ing cheap, so why would they want to trade for another RB that wants a massive deal? |
Philip Rivers: We love Melvin Gordon, but running back is a deep position for us
From PFT:
Melvin Gordon, who is holding out of Chargers camp in search of a new contract, says a great running back can’t be replaced. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers may not agree with that. Although Rivers made a point of saying that Gordon is a good teammate, he also said that the second and third running backs on the roster, Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson are capable of taking on a heavy workload if called upon to do so. Rest is here: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...sition-for-us/ |
I would hate to be running back. All that pounding and replaced quickly and not paid that much.

Though, Justin Jackson flopping could also happen considering the state of their OL, thus tempting the Chargers to pay Gordon who will subsequently come back and flop just as hard because, again, Oline. Gordon can't make plays by himself. We've seen that in his first two seasons. |

I get the stances here, Gordon will never have more leverage than he does right now, the Chargers don't want to pay a RB with questionable knees... The thing is the Chargers window is closing and if they don't pay him they likely **** themselves and close that window..it's a double edged sword. Gordon and Elliot have the most leverage right now, hence what they are doing. |

He could be easily, and possibly beneficially, replaced with a budget draft pick. You didn't refute that. You just said "He's kinda decent'. It's embarrassing that a guy in that offense could ever rush for less than 4 YPC. Austin Ekeler is actually more productive on a per play basis. Too bad the chargers are making the right move in staying pat. I want them to give him the sun and the stars. Give him David Johnson money! |

Follow along...
If teams are unwilling to pay RBs top dollar, then they surely are not going to be sending a draft pick for the rights to pay one top dollar. OK, so perhaps there is a team who thinks they are a RB away, but who is it? I don't see it happening. If I was a RB I think I'd want to be drafted in the early rounds, not first round, with hopes that the team will want to extend me before year four. Five years is a lot mileage on a back, even if you are only 26. |
