Melvin Gordon has incurred about $1 million in fines and -- assuming he doesn't show up at the Los Angeles Chargers' facility Friday or Saturday -- has missed three weeks' worth of $329,705 paychecks. Sources say Gordon intends to wait as long as he can before either the Chargers trade him or he finally has to report to work in order to be eligible for free agency next spring. The latter could be as late as Nov. 30, by which time he'd have missed 12 in-season paychecks totaling nearly $4 million.
