As Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon continues his holdout, his starting quarterback is on his side.
"I know Melvin knows I'm pulling for him," Philip Rivers said Thursday, per Eric D. Williams of ESPN. "And in saying that, that means you want what's best for him. You want him to feel great. You want him to be at peace with how it all ends, and hopefully it's right here."
Gordon is set to make $5.6 million in 2019, per Spotrac, but he is seeking a new deal that will keep him under contract past this season.
