Chargers RB Melvin Gordon 'waiting on the call'

Melvin Gordon is in California, but not back with the Chargers.

The Chargers’ holdout running back told ESPN he is “training rigorously . . . and staying ready to play football.”

He would not discuss his contract but said he wants to play football.

“Just waiting on the call,” Gordon told ESPN.

The story points out the Chargers don't seem close to budging as Gordon is supposed to make $5.6 million this season. He wants a long term deal or to be traded.
