The Los Angeles Chargers aren't going to give running back Melvin Gordon what he wants. On Sunday, general manager Tom Telesco announced in a conference call, per Orange County Register's Gilbert Manzano, that the Chargers will not be continuing extension talks as of now; curbing them until after the 2019 season.

Gordon's only option to remain a Charger is to play on his fifth-year option worth  $5.605 million. In 2020, he can be a free agent.

On Saturday, the Chargers permitted Gordon to seek a trade.

The two-time Pro Bowler is seeking a contract extension that the Chargers won't pay him. It is reported that he wants to be paid similar to the top backs in the NFL; meaning, a contract close to the likes of Le'Veon Bell, Todd Gurley, and David Johnson, who earn an average between $13 and $14 million annually.

Though the Chargers have offered Gordon an extension worth around $10 million per season, he has yet to budge. The holdout appears to be going into the regular season after he skipped all of training camp.

“I'm disappointed it has lasted this long,” Telesco said earlier in the week, per ESPN. “I pride myself in having solutions to problems, and I haven't solved this one yet. We know what he means to our team, and even bigger than that what he means to our organization. But the other side is we have a big game coming up this week with the Colts, and I'm confident in the players that we have on the field right now will play well.”

Though Gordon is looking for a trade partner, it's unknown if any team will give him what he wants considering he has an injury history and has broken 1,000 rushing yards just once in four seasons.
