Apparently he really put on some serious weight after retiring from the NFL, then was trying to cut back down. Just my guess as to what might've been the cause.

Adam Schefter reports: Unless he has a new deal, Chargers’ RB Melvin Gordon will not report to training camp, not when he currently is scheduled to be heading into the last year of his contract, a fifth-year option, worth $5.6 million dollars

He deserves a bump for sure the problem is the chargers have 4 other guys (Rivers, Bosa, King, Henry) who will also need new deals coming up. I'd argue that all 4 are more important to the teams success than Gordon and should be given priority.
I don't know if there's much of a trade market but I'd explore that before committing long term to Gordon.

Why would a guy with $20M+ remaining on his contract take that sort of risk?

Gordon's gonna be realllly interesting to see how that shakes out.
He's completely entitled to ask for more money given the shelf life of the position, but the Chargers gonna be really leary to hand out too much money given what just happened with Todd Gurley right down the road from them

Heard about the Gordon situation. That's going to be interesting. He's quite the talent, going to be interesting to see where he ends up.

Stupid, Norman should know better.
Also his play on the field for Washington has not lived up to the contract..

That’s the Big Ten for you. Unless you’re Ohio State.
Some rumors out there, which is totally insane, is more stuff about an 18-game season. But player safety! and salary adjustments! Ah, very simple solution. Just put a 16-game cap on all players, the product won’t suffer from teams forcing themselves to bench “healthy” players.

Because it's been a lifelong dream of his to partake plus he had it in his contract that he could participate

22 years old 6'3 318lb, yet to play a game in the NFL - and now he is missing an arm.
That ****ing sucks. So sad.
Well, he's not 318 pounds anymore. Probably about 305 now.

He also played 15 more games than Gurley so it would be kind of hard not to have more touches, overall touches per game were less than Gurley though, its not as if Gordon was Ron Dayne or anything, he only had 14.5 touches per game
