    Congrats to Broughton. He could be on his way to the Super Bowl.
    Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
    The Wasted Decade is done.

      I'm over the Ty Johnson cut. I've had my say. He's a Jag now. I'll give Staley the benefit of the doubt. He knows things we don't.

      Now, what about Josh Palmer for Offensive Rookie of the Year. If not for Herbert's record-setting rookie season, a WR would have won it last year. What if Palmer duplicates what Justin Jefferson did last season? The biggest barrier for Palmer to put up those numbers is because the Chargers have too many good pass catchers for Palmer to get that many targets as a rookie. The Vikings did not last season, and Jefferson filled that void. But even if Palmer doesn't equal Jefferson's output a year ago, he can still be good enough to win rookie of the year. I doubt Mac Jones or Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields do what Herbert did as a rookie. So why not Palmer?

        There's not enough balls to go around for Palmer to get that many passes. He's probably 5th in line for pass attempts. Allen, Williams, Ekeler, Cook first.

              We must be stepping up a bit to have a SB team pick up a guy we cut.

                To keep him over KJ Hill is so dumb man.

                I like Trevor Lawrence though and I’m glad he has a decent deep threat now.
                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

                  They can't claim a guy off waiver, and assign him to the P.S. He has to remain on the club's 53 man roster for a certain number of weeks. It might be 4 weeks.

                    I’m glad at least more fans are starting to see how much of a disaster Tom Telesco is.

                      They'll be on the inactive list so it doesn't matter.

                        First, he did cut three draft picks yesterday. Granted, none were a 3rd or 4th rounder.

                        Second, you cannot cut Pipkins unless there is a better option out there to replace him. One thing to keep in mind, say they are looking at a veteran. If that vet has more than 4 years experience, if on the Roster week 1 - guaranteed salary. IF after Week 1 - not all guaranteed.

                          *Cuts three draft picks in order to keep multiple UDFA*
