Los Angeles Chargers NewsPhilip Rivers discusses contract situation and Melvin Gordon’s holdoutNew Brandon Mebane Jersey ,7commentsPDTLos Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers went on Sirius XM NFL Radio and discussed both his and running back Melvin Gordon’s ongoing contract negotiations. He expressed that his expectation and hope is to remain with the team next season. And while he seemed willing to get a deal done before the season, he seemed untroubled by the possibility of playing the season out and revisiting contract talks afterward.Asked if waiting to sign an extension would leave more money available for “a running back,” Rivers responded, “If it does http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-michael-schofield-jersey , awesome.” He then expanded by praising Gordon and what the star running back brings to the team.As we wait for the resolution of the Gordon holdout, it seems clear that the issue won’t be the need to prioritize Rivers’ money this Summer. Unfortunately for those hoping to see Gordon suit up in lightning bolts again, he and the team appear to remain at an impasse with the Chargers holding firm on their desire to not overpay for an easily replaceable position and Gordon recognizing that he needs to maximize his last guaranteed opportunity to really get paid. It’s not surprising to see the Chargers sending representation to the local pro days to find some homegrown talent, much like last year when they snagged LB Uchenna Nwosu from USC and C/G Scott..."It’s not surprising to see the Chargers sending representation to the local pro days to find some homegrown talent Womens Corey Liuget Jersey , much like last year when they snagged LB Uchenna Nwosu from USC and C/G Scott Quessenberry from UCLA.Today it looks like the team is back at USC with a little help from Nwosu, likely doing what he can to help court some of the Trojan players.The Trojans don’t have a ton of high-profile draft prospects this year but there are some interesting mid-round picks that could potentially turn into some future starters.Middle linebacker Cameron Smith showed some explosiveness at the combine by posting a 39-inch vertical on top of a 4.69 forty. Standing 6-foot-2 and weighing in at 238 pounds, Smith does more than enough to fit the mold of the modern linebacker. In 2018, he only played in nine games due to injury Dan Feeney Jersey , but he still collected 81 tackles with 7.5 tackles-for-loss and a sack.In my recent 7-round mock, I took offensive tackle Chuma Edoga in the fourth round. The guy is athletic and ran a 5.19 forty after weighing in at 308 pounds in Indy (he played closer to 295 during the season). He would excel in a power run scheme like the Chargers’ with his ability to get out in space and erase defenders outside the hashes.Other Trojan players worth a possible late-day flier would be outside linebacker/edge rusher Porter Gustin (6-4 255), safety Marvell Tell (6-2 195), and cornerback Iman Marshall (6-0 205).
