Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon continues to hold out with the hope of landing a new contract that will make him one of the highest-paid players at his position in the league, but he insisted fans will see him take the field during the 2019 campaign.
Eric D. Williams of ESPN noted the Wisconsin product said he is "going to play somewhere" this year during a Tuesday video chat on Instagram. He went on to say not playing "would be a waste of talent."
Williams summarized the situation, pointing out Chargers general manager Tom Telesco said there would be no contract negotiations until following the season after Gordon didn't accept an offer that would have paid him approximately $10 million a year.
