Melvin Gordon is digging in.

The Los Angeles Chargers running back may take his contract holdout as deep into the 2019 NFL season as he can, with ESPN reporting Gordon may hold out until late November.

Gordon, 26, would have to report to the team at least 30 days before the end of the regular season to prevent his contract from tolling to next season, meaning he has to return to the Chargers with five games left in order to reach free agency next offseason.

The two-time Pro Bowler is in the final year of his rookie contract and was set to earn $5.6 million in 2019. He’s reportedly been looking for a new deal worth roughly $13 million per season, but the Chargers haven’t met his demands.

Last Sunday, Chargers general manager Tom Telesco told reporters the team would table contract talks with Gordon until after the season is over.

A trade remains a possibility, but the Chargers are reportedly asking for at least a first-round pick. One reported offer came from the Eagles, who wanted to send Jordan Howard to Los Angeles along with mid-round swaps for Gordon. The Chargers weren’t interested.
