While the two sides have exchanged proposals in recent days, there is now pessimism that Los Angeles Chargers holdout Melvin Gordon will be reporting anytime soon and his holdout threatens to go into the regular season, per sources familiar with the talks.
Talks are not in a good spot, sources said, and it will be a while before Gordon can be expected.
Gordon is in the final year of a rookie contract that is scheduled to pay him $5.6 million this season, but wants a new deal to put him among the highest-paid running backs in the league.
