Ekeler: Negotiated Incentives for 2023 Contract Year

[blueman]

Hell yes!

I'd rather include Ekeler in a package that could get the ninth pick so we could be in position to get Bijan Robinson or maybe even one of the top defensive linemen.

If the value of Ekeler is 260 "trade" points - the Chargers would have to add their 2nd get back the Bears 4th

Chargers: send out Ekeler (260) + 21 (800) + Chargers 54 (360)

Chargers get: Bears 9th pick 1350 + Bears 4th

I still think I want more picks in Rounds 2 and 3 - not less. Looking ahead, they need a lot of depth across the board.

I think Bijan is worth it, especially with the way Telesco drafts after top 20 in the first round. I'd rather have an elite running back for five or six years than two guys who probably won't make it to a second contract.

Of course I'd love it if Telesco gets three or four good starters in the top four rounds. I just don't think he'll be able to accomplish that in this draft.

Thats a fair point about Telesco. Just because he has more picks doesn't mean they will pan out. That said - I see so many needs: Edge WR RB. CB, OC, TE probably another WR- -nice to at least try to check a lot of boxes

yeah more picks mean nothing when you have telesCON as a GM. I wouldnt have faith in him getting good depth in the later rounds. Man McKitty was such a waste of a pick. I havent given up on Spiller yet cuz he didnt get to play much at all with the 2 RBs healthy pretty much all season. I wonder if it's cuz he hasnt picked up blitz packages.

We have no idea what we really have because we had Lombardi running the show for two years. No ONES a bust until Moore gets thru camp with these guys.

This, so much this.

An offensive weapon to outscore opponents, or one to keep teams from storming back? I don’t think anyone has a clue what TT is going to do. Short term? Long term? I haven’t a clue.

I know he's going to screw up in the 3rd round . . . . . . .

Here’s hoping he somehow trades that pick.

I'd like to come away with future picks that we can continue to push forward for more valuable picks.
Everyone is anticipating Herbert's megacontract, but i've noticed that most of the cap is taken after 2 or more years.
that is when we'll have to do a soft rebuild.
we have our core guys for this run, I can see us trading down AND trading Ekeler for a future 2nd and some.
