The NFL’s market for running backs is dwindling, and Melvin Gordon III isn’t happy about it.
Gordon said on “The Jim Rome Show.”
After winning his first Super Bowl in February with the Chiefs — albeit without actually getting on the field for Kansas City — Gordon is now back on the free agency market.“I’m just staying ready because I know what I can do,” Gordon said. “I know once I get in camp or any camp, I can turn some heads. I know what I need to do.
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes stretches with teammates, including running backs Melvin Gordon III and Clyde Edwards-Helaire .“In my opinion, I think after Todd got paid and then Sean McVay came out and said, ‘I will never pay a running back again; I’ll just use them and rotate them out,’ I think after that statement was made — and then I think they won the Super Bowl — it was like everybody just followed suit,” Gordon said.
Teams now choose to rely on younger, inexpensive running backs drafted in the late rounds with fresh legs and cheap contracts.
