Melvin Gordon should have interest from several teams, and the general thought seems to be that he won’t be back with the Chargers. That includes NFL.com’s Gil Brandt, who listed the Pittsburgh Steelers as a possibility to land the running back.
Gordon’s holdout last summer seemed to drive a wedge between he and the organization and when the team had Austin Ekeler step up with a career year, it started to become clear that the Chargers would be just fine without the former first-round pick.
If the Chargers turn their attention away from Gordon, allowing him to collect a big contract from another team, they can move forward with Ekeler and Justin Jackson.
