James White is supporting Melvin Gordon during his contract dispute
White went to Twitter to show his support for the star running back and his holdout.
Melvin Gordon’s holdout is threatening to run into the 2019 NFL season. The Chargers and Gordon have yet to reach an agreement regarding a re-working of the running back’s contract. Gordon was recently told by the team he would not receive an extension this year and was free to pursue a trade. The tense situation has led to Gordon airing out his thoughts about his critics via Twitter Sunday night.
It’s one thing having ppl that never played dissed you and hate on you…. but when it’s another back that do it smh shame on you. Lol y’all try to make me out to be so average !!!… and y’all know I’m not. My peers who actually play the game know where I’m at with it !!! 🤟🏾
