The Chargers have significant decisions to make regarding their pending unrestricted free agents, a group that numbers 13.
They also have to decide what — if anything — to do with another key player, one who is under contract: their No. 1 running back.
Melvin Gordon is entering the final season of a deal he signed after the Chargers took him with the 15th pick in the 2015 draft.
“He’s a three-down back and puts a lot of balls in the end zone for us, [scores] a lot of touchdowns,” general manager Tom Telesco said Thursday.
