Chargers running back Melvin Gordon

Brandon Mebane Jersey , who is making noises about holding out into the start of the season if he doesn’t get a new contract, is well aware that he plays a position whose value has declined.Gordon said in June that running backs are not valued in the NFL the way they used to be.“We’re definitely devalued. We definitely are. That’s just kind of how we’re looked upon in the league right now,” Gordon said.The problem Gordon faces is that the most valuable running backs — at least in terms of their contracts — have actually proven to be easily replaceable with much cheaper options. Le'Veon Bell sits out the season and James Conner fills in just fine. Todd Gurley gets hurt and C.J. Anderson comes in off the street and doesn’t miss a beat.And on the Chargers http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-michael-schofield-jersey , Austin Ekeler has proven himself capable of filling in for Gordon — and Ekeler makes the league minimum. The Chargers may decide that Gordon is no more valuable than his $5.6 million salary, and that they’re not paying him a penny more. In a season when so many young quarterbacks have played so well, a couple of old veterans are about to square off in the playoffs.The Chargers are heading to New England to take on the Patriots Womens Corey Liuget Jersey , and that means 37-year-old Philip Rivers will take on 41-year-old Tom Brady. Their combined age of 78 is the oldest ever for two starting quarterbacks in an NFL postseason game.Brady also had a share of the previous record, set three years ago, when he was 38 and faced off against the 39-year-old Peyton Manning in the AFC Championship Game.There was once an even older pair of quarterbacks in a playoff game Dan Feeney Jersey , on January 3, 1971, when 37-year-old Johnny Unitas and the Baltimore Colts beat 43-year-old George Blanda and the Oakland Raiders. But although Blanda played almost the entire game http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-derek-watt-jersey , he came on in relief of the 29-year-old Daryle Lamonica, who started for the Raiders. So the record for starting quarterbacks belongs to Brady and Manning, and will be broken next weekend by Brady and Rivers.
