Melvin gordon/zeke holdout?

Hey guys, I have never started a thread on here but just wanted other peoples thoughts on this.

So if you do not know, melvin gordon (RB for LAC) is holding out for more $ and an extension. Funny, is if he does not play this year, he does not get paid (or pays plenty in fees) plus he does not have any time ‘run’ toward his rookie contract expiring. So his only ‘hope’ is that Chargers want him back or he just play. It does not benefit him at all to not play, except letting his teammates down imo. He can wait until next year, when he will be in an option year to get extension. Zeke elliot (Rb for Cowboys) is almost in same position (besides he is in his extension year now, he can sit out and still get a deal next year off his rookie contract). Big thing i think both players on missing, is every year, the salary cap gets bigger and thus they can pay players more because they have more room (plus other players get bigger $ contracts, thus market can be {example:$10M/yr, next year will move up to example: $12M/yr) more next year thus get them more $ then instead of now (or possibly none if teams dont pay/they dont play).

Sorry for long post. Also, I have coached football for 6+ years and have always put more stock in great offensive line is what produces great running backs (some are talented than others in open space/breaking tackles), without large holes to run through, dont matter how talented a runner you are (leonard fornette versus bama comes to mind).
