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. |

Well if we’re gonna use what bill does as our guide we should probably go ahead and roll with some sixth round qb

You guys are probably right and I would amend my take on possibly taking a rb in the late first
It’s not ideally what I’d do but you could have a situation where a great talent falls to you there No way I’d do it early |

The Chiefs have gotten and will continue to get more long term value from Fisher who is not a great player than the Giants will from Barkley. Fisher is 28 now and can still play a lot more years. RBs are rarely still effective at 28. A RB in the top half of the 1st round makes little sense. |

A lot of this basically stems from the drought of elite caliber backs since 2000 and it has been twisted into "they have no value"
The Fisher over Barkley thing is pretty funny though. I'm sure the Cardinals still love that they took Levi Brown over Adrian Peterson. |

Of course all things even you take a Barkley over a Fisher, but I’d rather have Fisher right now than a overpaid aging RB. That’s the point. |

Yes When the Giants are ready to consistently compete Barkley will not be effective. Bad use of a pick. |

I have no problem paying a RB if they earned it. Not seeing it. What MG has going for him is they dont have a viable RB back behind him. It's a weak group without him. So he does have leverage and he could get paid.

They see this as their window and have always been high on Gordon. An aging vet QB with a young defense in their prime. Within the next year or two they're going to have to pay their young talent and Rivers' arm already started to fade down the stretch last season.
