The estimate for the Franchise tag is $12 mil. At that price point, we might as well sign him to an extension.
The issue in my mind is that you may well have to let a lot of players you want to keep go in order to keep Gordon to get the 3rd round comp pick in the 2022 draft.
Again, as I pointed out in another thread, signing Gordon to a top tier contract makes it difficult to sign anyone but Rivers, unless Rivers is the guy who wants to give the Chargers a big break on the contract. In terms of effective cap space (cap space minus the amount we need to sign our draft picks and have enough to get through the regular season) Rivers and Gordon would probably cost us all of the space we have, which is fine by itself. But with a long list of other players at FA, it makes it hard to imagine that

Give him permission to seek trade partners...I like Gordon, but I'm a Bolt fan first...besides...he may find nobody else is willing to fork over what he is asking, and he will come back down to EarthAdopted Bolt: Kimani Vidal RB
Final prediction: Latham OT, Colson LB, Sainristil CB,Rice WR, Zinter OG, Nourzad OC, MacLachlan TE, Vidal RB, Lovett DT

According to Over the cap, that isn't true. He can sit out the year and still become a FA.
