Melvin Gordon isn’t at training camp.

The Chargers obviously would prefer that he was.But General Manager Tom Telesco said the organization holds no ill will toward their star running back.“I love Melvin Gordon L.J. Collier Jersey ,” Telesco said, via Eric Williams of ESPN. “He’s an excellent player. He’s tough. He has a great work ethic and represents our organization extremely well. But he’s not here.”“I understand his thoughts and opinions of what he’s going through. I always look at the player’s side, so I can see it. It doesn’t mean I agree with it, but I can kind of see what his thought process is.”Telesco said the Chargers have offered Gordon a new contract. It obviously was not to Gordon’s liking, and the running back said earlier this month he’s willing to sit out as long as it takes to “get paid.”The Chargers placed Gordon on the did not report list Wednesday, leaving Austin Ekeler, Justin Jackson and Detrez Newsome at the top of the depth chart. They signed Derrick Gore on Wednesday.“I’m not naïve: I know we’re better with Melvin Gordon,” Telesco said. “But we’ve got a strong group of guys that are here, and it’s their time to work and get ready to go.”The Chargers expect to see Gordon at some point. He has to report by the Tuesday of Week 10 to get credit for a season needed to become an unrestricted free agent.“My only thought process is http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/marquise-blair-jersey-authentic , he’s playing here,” Telesco said. “He’s an L.A. Charger.”Gordon is entering the final year of his rookie deal scheduled to make $5.6 million in 2019. He is subject to fines of $40,000 for every day of training camp he misses, according to the league’s Collective Bargaining Agreement. Last year, the draft saw five quarterbacks selected in round one, for the first time since 1999. And there continues to be a very good chance that five quarterbacks will be drafted in the first round tonight.The four mostly-sure-fire first-round picks are Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins, Drew Lock, and Daniel Jones. And they could all be gone by the time the 20th pick is made.That’s when it could get interesting. With so little clarity regarding which team(s) covet which quarterback(s) beyond those first four D.K. Metcalf Jersey , it’s entirely possible that another quarterback gets picked before the round ends, either with a team holding a low pick using it on a quarterback, or trading it to a team who will.Last year, after four quarterbacks went in the top 10, it was expected that Lamar Jackson would be the next one to go — even if he lasted until pick No. 32. This year, there’s no consensus as to who the fifth first-round pick may be.That dynamic also makes it impossible to rule out a chance, slim as it may be, that two different teams covet two different quarterbacks beyond the top four, putting six total quarterbacks into round one. If it happens (and it most likely won’t) that would match the class of 1983 with six first-round quarterbacks.Adding to the prospect of at least five quarterbacks being taken tonight is the simple human dynamic that surely is at play among the owners who have in recent years secured young franchise quarterbacks http://www.seahawksfootballauthentics.com/cody-barton-jersey-authentic , and those who haven’t. At some point, after enough neighbors buy new cars, it’s time to buy a new car.That’s how ownership can ultimately wreck a meticulously crafted draft board. The owner gets what the owner wants, and it doesn’t require a directive to get the point across. Billionaires often communicate in stray comments, trusting that those whom they pay will be smart enough to figure out what the owner is really saying.
