2021 Official Chargers Season Discusssion

[Bolt4Knob]

MW & HH are worth the same $10m/year.... Mike w/lower catch rate and more depth behind him.

send MW to Cleveland, sign Njoku in return.. Jared Cook also a consideration.

good bye to Turner & Harris... 'nother go 'round for both Casey and Linval.

I do wonder the market for Mike Williams if he has been bandied around the league in trade talk

[La Costa Boy]

When MikeDub gets his extension hammered out, his Cap $ will reduce by $8+ in 2021.
We will have plenty of Cap room to do whatever we want within reason.

What a nice place to be in a flooded buyers market..........

I did some more math work on my personal spreadsheet - removing Turner, adding in the rookie draft class of 9 players; adding in estimates for Henry, Davis, Jenkins and even Feeney and the Chargers have more than enough friggin cap space to get some "shtuff" done .

I am not saying be stupid with your cap -- but they have enough to do some damage. And that includes keeping Harris, Hayward and Joseph on their current deals and even Mike Williams at his current deal.

But in this market, with their dollars they should be able to get some higher priced players and some nice mid level vets too. And of course veterans on the minimum

Or or or
we can cut them, collect more cap and really take advantage of our cap position and completely remodel our roster overnight to Staley’s specifications and try to win now.

[Air Coryell]

With a lower cap, Hayward and Harris are too old with diminished skills @ 10M. They need to be released. Extend MW, or move on. Keep Joseph. 1st 4 picks =
OL, C, CB, CB; in any order.

[Xenos]

I would kick the tire on him. Maybe a one or two year deal.

I agree - though I am not going to release Hayward, Joseph or Harris until I know I have better players lined up. Luckily they have a 72 hour window to evaluate free agents before releasing Harris and Joseph for sure. But there is $25mn of cap space that I think Telesco/Staley can use better like you said, win in the next couple years

I think I am good keeping Mike Williams if they do let Hunter Henry test free agency but get that dude signed longer term - if not let him test the market

I want Telesco to have a friggin vision. I am not sure he has ever had a friggin vision of a team. I think with Staley - he has a coach that understands the NFL in the year 2021 and maybe that will help with how he does his job. The team has the QB, has a few other players, they have enough cap space - build a friggin team now . I will say Telesco has been at his best in free agency when he has signed guys like Hayward and Woodhead over big money players like Franklin, Derek Cox.

So if that means no Ryan Linsley but a lesser known OC - I can be okay with that.

Its a blood bath in NO...hatchet swinging left and right, and their still 20mil+ over the cap....Drew Brees will have to pay the Saints to come back and play...:lol:

A lot of older veterans released; other veterans they pushed the money into the future. Personally, unless they have a QB in mind, not sure it was worth it to push all this cap out to try to win in 2021 unless Loomis/Payton have a QB. Maybe its Winston

[21&500]

Notice how NO is trying like hell not to touch their Oline?
if a few players refuse to restructure, they may be forced to trade or cut some VERY good players

[BoltUp InLA]

Not sure if mentioned before.. But Jonathan Hankins would be a nice sign in think for the right amount / years to plug into that NT role in Staley's defense.

Then there's KC. Wow.

Re NO, it's not just Ramczyk/Armstead.
Ruiz/McCoy are great at IOL.

The OT UFA market is getting to be more buyer friendly...lots of options.

I still want to gut our IOL.
