2023 Official Roster Build Thread - The Initial 53 / Practice Squad

What was Johnson injury again? I remember Otis the UCLA rookie DT had the same injury as JC

Broke kneecap.
MCL tear.
I thought it was worse.

[cmplxgal]

Well hell, that's not enough to give Ekeler a raise and then sign Tranquil, Van Noy, and Callahan

No. Unless they create some more cap space, $5M is enough to re-sign Van Noy, Scott or another punter, and Carter or another return man.

[Fouts2herbert]

First of the Chargers' free agents to sign with another team, so there's that.

I would’ve lost a lot of money on that bet, hard to believe he even got picked up…Carr has seen him play live, I can’t imagine he is happy with this signing…

[Fouts2herbert]

I don’t blackball a college kid for drinking, nor for racing. Especially if one of his coaches is participating. But i doubt they go that way, they signed 3 FA IDL players. A devouring IDL difference maker is never a bad thing.

She wasn’t a coach, she was a young woman that worked for the recruiting department of the georgia bulldogs…all the stories have labeled her as an athletic department ‘staff’ member…

[Leslie Grossman]

Eagles are all in again. Don't think Carter gets past them?

Bijan might not

[ChargingBolts]

Haven't been paying too much attention so forgive my ignorance here, I would much rather have Tranquil over K9, can we move Alohi to S opposite of Derwin (or vice versa) now that Adderly retired? Would like to keep Ek because he is similar to a Christian McCaffrey.

[Boltjolt]

I'm getting the feeling that Ekeler isn't getting traded as the market isn't there for him.

[Heatmiser]

I wonder if instead of getting a comp pick the Chargers have to give a pick back to the NFL for Storm leaving.

He seems like a good guy. Just not a good OT.

Austin and agent.
See MG III and Eric Weddell.
Chargers are not gonna budge.
Think big picture and all future contracts.
Prioritization-that is the team's call.

And how did MG3 and Weddle respond - not very good
Trade him

No. Unless they create some more cap space, $5M is enough to re-sign Van Noy, Scott or another punter, and Carter or another return man.

Scott or a punter and Carter (return man) are more budget neutral deals. Maybe a net hit to the cap of $500k with signing bonus

Van Noy - he might get like 1.5m plus a little bonus so maybe a net million to the cap. Or he will be on another team

I think back up OL at this point is a bigger priority than Callahan
