I’m going to disagree with the Gates example. There’s a reason Gates immediately fired his agent afterwards and got the deal done with a better agent. There’s also a reason there was no drama in the third contract in 2010.THE YEAR OF THE FLIP!

disqualified Gates from game 1 of that season and we lost to Dallas when we couldn't convert in the red zone (Gates' specialty) at the end.

Edit: also why did we pass all four downs with LT as our RB?

I think when AJ pulled his stunt with Gates he lost a lot of respect on the team and never really got it back.
TG
Derwin may have also lured some players to play for the Chargers, so there's also that. He seems to be well liked & respected by not only his teammates, but a lot of other NFL players as well.
So TT, don't screw this up. Especially since I just won this jersey, lol.

Gates’ agent disqualified him from game 1. AJ couldn’t reverse the league’s rules even if he want to. Once again, there’s a reason that his agent was fired and contracts afterwards went so smoothly.

Chargers GM A.J. Smith said at halftime of San Diego's preseason game against St. Louis that tight end will end his holdout and sign his one-year tender.
