Gordon held out for the first four games of last season while seeking a long-term deal. The Chargers didn’t give it to him. Gordon returned and rushed for 612 yards and eight touchdowns while also catching 42 passes. The Chargers are $51 million under the cap, but they’re likely to be extremely active in free agency and that could make Gordon a candidate for the franchise tag.
