      I think Mel's a good back, but he's no where near Bell. The reason backs are not getting big contracts is that they are fairly easy to find in the later rounds. Really liked what I saw from Jackson and Eckeler last year.

        I think Gordon might be open to a small home team discount, based on his comments. He likes being a Charger, and he knows the management likes him.

          Agree. Bell's a level up. Gurley is reportedly getting a four-year, $60 million deal that includes $45 million in guarantees and a signing bonus of $20 million. Gordon's a step below Gurley as well.

            I don't want 2 pay Gordon huge money at all,,, like I said he has no pop or sizzle, 1 yard and a cloud of dust. If we draft well and fix this O-LINE anyone can run the ball. Spend that big money on both sides of the trenches.

              I think it would be funny if the Chargers signed Bell and trade Gordon away,,,,lol. Don't get me wrong Gordon does his best and works hard but so do wash machines,,,,

                Im a huge Gordon guy. I was pretty adamant here about drafting him. Plus we used a draft pick to move up a spot to get him. I think he ends up getting signed. Telesco loves him. Now he is no Bell. He cant line up xyz. He cant essentially run routes as a WR. Bell can do that.

                Gordon is one of the better RBs after first contact. But he breaks down. When the OL is clicking he is a monster. As we saw through the first 3/4 of the season. If you get Gordon behind monster OG's he would likely be a top 3 guy. Top 5.

                I dont want to pay him 10M a year though. But i also am not comfortable with Ekeler/Jackson/Newsome. Rivers best friend is a run game and stud TE. I dont know how long Rivers has left but he thinks its a few years.

                Im not opposed to signing Bell and trading Gordon. Wont happen but its fun to think about Bell. He doesnt come without question marks though.
