Based on his career numbers, running back Melvin Gordon should have several suitors lined up to sign him if he hits the free-agent market in March. Then again, the fifth-year veteran didn't leave a great lasting impression this past season.
In 2019, Gordon opted to hold out in an attempt to force the Los Angeles Chargers' hand in signing him to an extension. Team brass didn't budge and instead went with running back Austin Ekeler as the lead playmaker out of the backfield.
During Gordon's four-game absence, Ekeler mirrored what the two-time Pro Bowler had done over the last four seasons, handling most of the carries and hauling in catches as a reliable receiver.
