So Gurley is at ~$15m/yr, Bell and Johnson at ~$13m, then a big dropoff to Freeman and McCoy. Lots of rookie backs down the list looking for new contracts now or soon.
I see Gordon looking at those numbers above and thinking he's worth it, and he is definitely in the upper tier of backs, but paying a back carries a lot of risk in the most replaceable position on the field.
Rivers/Chargers window is closing here too. Tough situation, but I don't see any teams willing to trade for and pay him.
