With roughly a month to go before NFL training camps open, a number of veteran running backs remain available on the free-agent market. Dalvin Cook, Ezekiel Elliott and Leonard Fournette are among the bigger names still looking for a team.

Gordon said he still wants to play and has a lot to still contribute to a team. But added that it's difficult for running backs to get attention on the market.

He's not wrong. In addition to Cook, Elliott, Fournette and Gordon, Kareem Hunt, Mark Ingram and James Robinson are still available. That group has combined for 13 Pro Bowl appearances and can't find work. When that time that comes, only the elite players get mega contracts. Many of the guys who sustained all those hits en route to multiple 1,200 yard seasons get pushed to the wayside in favor of someone younger or someone with less tread on their tires.
