The Los Angeles Chargers still must decide whether to pay him the money that he is looking for, play hardball and let him sit as long as he feels necessary, or find a trade partner. While he’s away, the Chargers seem content to turn to the backs behind him on the depth chart.
Those running backs include Austin Ekeler, Justin Jackson and any combination of players that make the 53-man roster between Detrez Newsome, Troymaine Pope and Jeremy Cox.
As good as Gordon has been, there’s a really good chance the Chargers will find success behind him.
