Gordon was hoping to be one of NFL’s highest-paid RBs alongside Todd Gurley, Ezekiel Elliott, David Johnson, and Le’Veon Bell, but the Chargers front office refused to move off its offer of $10 million per season, even though he wanted $13M.

The 26-year-old is set to make $5,605,000 for the 2019 season after the team picked up his 5th-year option.
