Melvin Gordon Wants Trade If New Deal Isn't Reached
5 years agoLos Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon wants a long-term deal from the Chargers and intends to sit out training camp and demand a trade if a long-term deal isn't reached. Gordon is a late first-round pick in most fantasy formats at this point, so him either not playing or winding up somewhere else could have major implications. Him not playing at all this year would be the worst-case scenario, in which case Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson would see a huge increase in value. It's too early to panic yet on Gordon, but people drafting right now suddenly have a lot more risk to deal with.
