The Chargers will just continue to fuck over Melvin Gordon

Star running back Melvin Gordon and the San Diego Los Angeles Chargers have been at war for months. And now it doesn't look like it's getting any better. General Manager Tom Telosco let reporters know on Sunday that all contract negotiations between themselves and Gordon would be set aside until the end of this season.

#Chargers GM Tom Telesco tells reporters that any contract extension talks with RB Melvin Gordon will be suspended until after the season. Unless Gordon can find a trade partner, he’ll play on the fifth-year option in 2019.

No one here really believes that's happening right? 

Gordon could play out his final year, but the more likely scenario is that he either finds a trade partner by Week 8, or sits the entire season, like Le'Veon Bell. The problem with this is that running backs unfortunately have so little leverage in these situations because they can be so easily replaceable. It's sad that the Chargers are going this route, as they're a better team with Gordon on it.
