Source - Ex-Chargers RB Melvin Gordon agrees with Broncos - ESPN

Former Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon reached an agreement on a two-year, $16 million deal that includes $13.5 million guaranteed with the Denver Broncos, a source confirmed to ESPN.

The news was first reported by NFL Network.

While he continued to move up the all-time lists for the Chargers, the 2019 season was a rocky one for the running back. However, he finished the season healthy for the first time in his career.

Gordon missed training camp and the first four games of the season over a contract impasse in which he wanted an extension that would have put him among the league's top-paid running backs. He ended the holdout on Sept. 26 after 64 days.

As a result, Gordon, who turns 27 on April 13, got off to a slow start during a difficult season. He finished with 612 rushing yards -- averaging 3.8 yards per carry -- and nine total touchdowns in 12 games. He added 42 catches for 296 receiving yards.

Gordon, who hadn't lost a fumble since the 2016 season, fought back tears on the sidelines after a late goal-line fumble in a Week 7 loss to the Tennessee Titans. It was one of three fumbles on the season for him.

He also had a difficult year off the field, dealing with the deaths of two uncles and a close friend.

In five seasons since he was the 15th overall pick in the 2015 draft, Gordon has rushed for 4,240 yards with the Bolts, which ranks fourth in team history. He also sits at No. 4 in receptions (218), No. 5 in receiving yards (1,873) and No. 2 in scrimmage yards (6,113) and touchdowns (47) among running backs in team history.

His 35 touchdowns over the last three seasons ranks fifth in the NFL over that span. Grodon also has 3,864 scrimmage yards during that same time frame, which ranks ninth.
