Melvin Gordon Wants a New Contract or Out of the Chargers
https://www.google.com/amp/s/thebigl...act-trade/amp/
Melvin Gordon, entering his fifth season in the NFL and thus still on his rookie deal, is dissatisfied with his contract with the Los Angeles Chargers and is taking those frustrations public: Los Angeles running back Melvin Gordon has informed the Chargers that unless he receives a new contract, he will not report to training camp and he will demand a trade, his agent Fletcher Smith told ESPN. Elite backs in the NFL persistently face this issue. The five-year deals for first round picks lock them in at below market wages, and then when they hit their mid to late twenties the teams say they are nearing the end of their useful lives. Last year, Gordon missed four games with an injured knee, but when he was playing he averaged over five yards per carry. Gordon is slated to make $5.6 million this season. Off the top of my head, if they could make the compensation work the Packers would be a great fit for Gordon. He is from and played college football at Wisconsin, and is the threat to catch passes out of the backfield that Aaron Rodgers has been sorely lacking. |

The only time I would take a RB in the first round is if I’m picking late and an elite level talent falls to me.
I don’t want to draft an elite talent early and fall into the trap of giving them the big second contract. If I’m already a contender, then I’m not as worried about it. I would never take a RB under any circumstance in the top half of the first round. There’s always another position with better longevity available early. |

This isnt boxing or tennis every position in football is important although to different degrees. If there is a guy like Saquon available in middle 1st round and even a small need for RB on the team.. You take him. Every NFL GM would. |

Ezekiel Elliott is taking a 6-10 to 8-8 squad and has them being a playoff squad when he isn't busy breaking the law.

That might’ve been the extremely rare draft that taking a RB #1 would be defensible.
And you could still argue we’d be better off with Fisher who’s a good LT. We would’ve had to overpay to keep a RB had we drafted one and he’d probably already be breaking down, while Fisher is entering his prime and protecting our franchise QB’s blindside. |
