C'ya Casey Hayward

[wu-dai clan]

Cornerbacks currently on the Chargers' roster: Chris Harris and two undrafted players from last season's practice squad, John Brannon and Donte Vaughn.

We will see if they bring back free agents Michael Davis, Brandon Facyson, and Tevaughn Campbell.

Every time you release a player it creates another hole. Cap space is great, but you still need to field a team, hopefully a winning team.

NFL Rumors has us interested in John Johnson III, Lamarcus Joyner, and Janoris Jenkins.

As painful as it was watching this release be bantered about the last few weeks, I believe it was more painful watching Casey getting picked on last year and chase guys around from a step or two behind. Resign him???.......I dunno, he is not going to get any faster even if we pay him less. I think that is a heart over head decision at this point unless Brandon and the new staff can concoct a scheme that he can support or hopefully excel in. However I think that ship has sailed.

Strangely enough, bringing in players coaches are personally familiar with has not worked under Telesco:

Bulaga, Orlando Franklin,.....

Other than Telesco's 2013 crop, Casey Hawyard & to a lesser extant Okung, NFL free agent signings have not been kind to T.T.

That’s why I never, ever get excited at FA time. It has essentially never done anything for the Bolts. Yeah, there is the occasional decent player, but its rare. And I expect the same this year.

So TT, please draft some quality OL.

Does this mean the Jack'd Boyz are over?

Casey was a very good player. This last year - there was a drop off. But the first four years as a Chargers - did very well

I think Chris Harris stays - but again - they can explore the market early next week before his $2m bonus kicks in . Would Troy Hill for close to the same dollars make more sense than Harris. Though Staley was on staff in Denver so probably Harris makes more sense than Hill and there really won't be significant cap savings going from CHJr to Troy Hill

Same with Linval Joseph - is he the right scheme fit? That one will be interesting to see

You have the new head coach, new system, now is the time to make these changes.

Absolutely he was a fantastic player for us. I did advocate moving on from him before last season. Just like I advocate moving on from Harris now. The injuries are piling up for Harris and so are the calendar years. It's a large salary to pay for an aging Nickel corner. He is not the player he once was.

And thats why two things
1) I like the idea of the lesser midpack free agents. I am slowing down on Linsley as like you said, Telesco with big dollars - its been spotty. Telesco with mid range, much better (Woodhead, Hayward)

2) maybe don't raid the Rams but I think Staley knows personnel better than McCoy and Lynn too

Lol, Fleet!

I didn't expect this one, to be honest. Gonna be some good ones released due to the cap.

I kind of expected it...Casey was solid for a while...but just got burned too many times last year...not surprising, really...

Yep...to adopt the Belicheat model, better to cut 'em a year too early, than a year too late...with Harris, right now would be right on time...

The Jackboyz were over as soon as one of those dudes celebrating a pick stepped on Derwin's foot...

I agree but in that case they'd need 2 new starters at CB - kind of a tall order! Also, they haven't inked Davis yet. Because of that, I'm guessing Harris will get another year out of the Bolts.
