Chargers RB Melvin Gordon ending his holdout


Melvin Gordon is holding out no longer.

The Chargers running back, whose holdout for a better contract began in training camp and carried on through the first three weeks of the season, will report to the team on Thursday, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

Gordon will not play in the Chargers’ Week 4 game in Miami, but is planning to be back in the fold with his teammates, Rapoport added.

Searching for a better deal than his current one, Gordon is set to make $4.94 million in base salary in 2019 — the last year in his contract. The 26-year-old was reportedly offered $10 million per season, but the Chargers never moved to a greater sum. The team likewise granted the back permission to seek a trade, but nothing ever came to fruition and now Gordon returns to the Bolts, whose running game has done well, but the team overall has struggled to a 1-2 start.
