Melvin Gordon contract talks shelved by Chargers until after season

Melvin Gordon Dolphins

The Los Angeles Chargers are putting Melvin Gordon contract talks on hold until the end of the 2019 season, general manager Tom Telesco said Sunday.

This is a clear indication that the Chargers are comfortable moving on without Gordon this season, barring a huge turn of events in which Gordon reports on his current deal.

Without a new contract, which appears to be off the table no matter what at this time, Gordon is set to play out the final year of his rookie contract and make $5.6 million.

The Chargers have reportedly given Gordon permission to seek a trade.

If Gordon remains away from the team, as he has given every indication of doing, then the Chargers will roll out a combination of Austin Ekeler and second-year back Justin Jackson, who did a great job this preseason.
