LA Chargers: Don’t re-sign Melvin Gordon in free agency

The Chargers face a lot of tough decisions coming into 2020. The decision on unrestricted free agent Melvin Gordon may be at the top of the list. Gordon’s coming off of a bad year, but previous good seasons like 2018 have teams all across the league wondering what exactly to make of him.

One of the explanations for Gordon’s poor 2019 was his holdout. This is something he’s said himself. While 2019 was bad, it didn’t really put much of a dent in Gordon’s market value for his next contract. Spotrac’s calculations put Gordon’s next contract at approximately $11.
