Melvin Gordon's Agent Requests Trade Amid Contract Dispute With Chargers

Melvin Gordon's agent Damarius Bilbo has requested that the Los Angeles Chargers trade his client amid an ongoing contract dispute this offseason.

According to ESPN's Josina Anderson, Bilbo asked the Chargers to trade Gordon last week after the team did not move from its initial offer of approximately $10 million per season in contract talks. Chargers general manager Tom Telesco told Bilbo that Gordon is still viewed as "family" but did not give the agent permission to seek trade partners.

Gordon, 26, is slated to earn $5.6 million in 2019, a team option in the final season of his five-year rookie deal.
