Mr. WEO Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) How does an player/agent "seek a trade partner"? Edited August 31, 2019 by Mr. WEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 The Chargers are either playing hardball with Gordon, or his agent is asking for the world....it's probably the latter. I guess he didn't see how well it worked out for Bell last season, where he lost a years salary that he will never recoup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess he goes around and asks teams what they would pay him, he picks the team(s) that offers him what he wants, then that team rings up the Chargers to see what it would take to get him. I presume the larger the contract, the smaller the trade offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills just cut a 31 year old multi ProBowl borderline HOF running back. Gordon’s timing literally could not be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if its the years that are the real issue between Gordon and the Chargers. And that is why there has been such a big hang up over the contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, several of the top RBs are at the front of their rookie contracts, so does Gordon not deserve what goes for top5 RB (second contract ) money? Before you answer, remember, until this am, McCoy was a top 5 paid RB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you answer, remember, until this am, McCoy was a top 5 paid RB... I always felt McCoy was too expensive. If I were the Chargers I wouldn't offer more than the 10 per stated above. If I were Cowboys I'd pay Zeke (with a clause or 2 for his off field stuff.) Each situation and RB is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
