Melvin Gordon’s time with the Los Angeles Chargers might be rapidly nearing an end.
According to Ian Rapoport, the Chargers have made it clear they won’t discuss a new deal until after the season, and they cleared him to seek a trade if he can find one. (RELATED: Ezekiel Elliott
Some potentially big news for the #Chargers: They have given the reps for Melvin Gordon permission to seek a trade, sources say. He’ll explore his options, which include returning. But big few days.

#Chargers GM Tom Telesco tells reporters that any contract extension talks with RB Melvin Gordon will be suspended until after the season. Unless Gordon can find a trade partner, he’ll play on the fifth-year option in 2019.

I just don’t get this at all. Not one bit. The Chargers need Gordon to make a deep postseason run. They just can’t do it without him.
I don’t understand how the team leadership doesn’t get that fact. Yes, most running backs are easily replaceable.
The former Wisconsin Badgers star is not on the list of guys who can just be swapped in and out.

The Chargers will come to regret letting Gordon walk away from the table. I can promise you that much. They need to pay the man!
Either Los Angeles wants to win football games or they don’t. It’s that simple. If they want to put up numbers, then Gordon needs to be in the backfield.
It’s really that simple. This isn’t rocket science. It’s just football.
I hope like hell Gordon finds a good trade partner if the Chargers can’t resolve this, and then just balls out as soon as he leaves.
Nothing would be better karma than watching Gordon put up unreal stats after the Chargers refused to sign him to a fair deal.
It looks like Gordon might not be wearing a Chargers uniform every again.
What a wild and unbelievable situation.
