    This answers my question

    Our quarterback is a golden god.

      Tom Telesco’s Results in 9 years as Chargers GM:

      - 69-74 record
      - 0 division titles in 9 yrs as GM
      - Worst record among all active GMs with same tenure
      - 6th worst winning percentage among all active GMs overall
      - 2 playoff wins despite elite QB all 9 yrs
      - Team still has the same weaknesses (Oline and run defense) that it had when hired as GM in 2013
      - Consistently puts together horrible depth, expects starters to never miss games

        I think Staley must also be sending a message: Hotheads and play slackers will not be tolerated...

          Well I was half right. If Merrill and Facyson go unclaimed it worked 100%

            You can’t just start blaming the HCs for Telesco’s mistakes. It’s been 3 HCs now since he’s been here. Notice the trend.
            Staley did not say that about Pipkin. Here’s what he actually said:

            “With Trey, there’s still aspects of his game that certainly need improvement, but we felt like he’s been invested in trying to improve,” Staley replied. “What we’re trying to do is solidify him in a comfort zone. He’s been going left and right, right and left, and we just felt like, for now, he’s a player that we can still hang with. And we feel like he’s earned that with us, with how he’s invested in his game. And although he’s had some tough moments that I think a lot of people have seen, there’s been other moments where we feel like, hey, there’s still more in there that we can tap into. So we’re just going to hang tough with him, and he certainly has to improve, but we feel like he gives us depth at that position that we feel like we’ll need moving forward.”

              Facyson, meh. Merrill, I think he'll get thorough waivers, not a high demand position and doesn't fit the typical DT mold, more of a NT.

                But why bother with reality when you can have post-reality?

                Anyway, this team was never going to keep 8 OL so Pipkins vs Johnson just isn't a thing. Johson lost his roster spot to Anderson, Amen, or Hall. For whatever reason.

                There are multiple vet swing tackles who cleared waivers and cam be signed at any time. They may be shopping around. We may be shopping around. Who knows?

                  Of the two, I would prefer Merrill is back

                  I have a feeling with the Butler news in AZ plus a bit of a lack of depth - they might bring on Facyson. I am not expecting him back.

                    Add in that vet contracts signed after Week One are non guaranteed.

                    Do not forget, people.

                      That's an amazing fall from grace for Facyson. From anticipated starter to not even making the PS? Wow.
                      Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

                        Since they stop at Tyron it doesn’t show MW at 10th on that list. We have WR on this team that can replicate what Johnson did.

                          He could still make the PS, would have to clear waivers first.
