Welcome J.C. Jackson CB

[Velo]

I've brought this up a few times over the years. I spent so much time on the ol' CMB defending his play. Folks often don't realize how valuable being simply "serviceable" is. That is until you have a continuous line of burning trash piles occupying those same positions.

This is 100 percent spot on.

TT is blowing me away. I never expected the JCJ signing.

Could this be the largest contract ever received by a player who was originally signed as an undrafted free agent?

Chargers add CB J.C. Jackson


Los Angeles gets Jackson on a five-year, $82.5 million deal.

I had Jackson, 26, as my top free agent in this year’s class and thought he’d push $19 million to $20 million per year. Instead, his new deal comes in with an annual value of $16.5 million, which is outside the five highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL.

Jackson’s 22 interceptions over the past three seasons are tops in the NFL. His 47 passes defended are tied for second. Jackson’s ability to play man coverage should give the Chargers more scheme versatility.

The additions of Khalil Mack and Jackson should give the Chargers’ defense a big boost. And they didn’t overpay to land Jackson.

Grade: A-


Chargers sign WR Mike Williams


Williams returns to the Chargers on a three-year, $60 million deal with $40 million guaranteed.

Williams had 1,146 yards in 2021, which ranked 11th among wide receivers. And he’s only 27 years old.

Williams has averaged 16.1 YPR in his career, and his 17 catches of 20-plus yards last season ranked ninth among wide receivers.

The Chargers’ goal should be to build the most efficient, explosive offense possible so that they can take advantage of Justin Herbert on a rookie deal and try to compete for a Super Bowl right now. Williams helps them move towards that goal.

Having said that, $20 million per year is a big number. Williams is now getting paid like a top-five wide receiver in the NFL. I don’t mind the Chargers being aggressive here, given that they haven’t had to pay Herbert at the top of the market yet, but they’re banking on Williams’ best football being ahead of him.

so pumped right now

TT making all the right moves to win SB

[UglyTruth]

Is there cap space left to add another CB like Rasul Douglas? He’s kind of a one yr wonder so I’m hoping he’d be cheaper than some of the other CBs.

[Formula 21]

Alright. Got us a Terp.

I still think RT is upgraded in R1 of the draft - but who knows what will happen

Maybe they are trying to get Bulaga to take $4m salary or something with incentives -- granted, with that back, that still might not be the best move.

fuck bulaga. that guy has collected paychecks to do NOTHING! cut him COMPLETELY and get as much cap space back as possible.

Agreed. The only thing I can think of is if they're working on a restructured contract. At 32 how many more years would bulaga have anyways.

I think it's fair to ask Bulaga to restructure to basically play free this season if he's healthy.
we already paid him a fortune to rehab.
Start what you finished, what you sold Linsley on.

Just cut him. He has his millions.
