Draft pick. Bijan, and I also like Chase Brown and his laser one cut, also like Rochon Johnnson and yeah, Gibbs and Spears.
As for a cheap vet, I like James Robinson, D'Onta Foreman, D'Ernest Johnson....in that order. Foreman though not much of a pass catcher.

His post about fans need to support him and not the team he plays for has me souring a bit. Sorry, I love Ekeler. But I am a CHARGERS fan. I don't watch the games just to see him run or catch. I don't walk away when the game is on and he is not on the field. I don't take satisfaction in his stats but rather my team winning. I won't start watching the team he gets traded to just to see him play. And I don't think ill of the Chargers for paying him fairly based on market for his position even if that market seems wrong. So yeah, I support the logo he plays for not him.
And while I am ranting on market, I think entertainers (which is what the NFL is at the end of the day) should not just compare themselves to others in their fields but also others in society. Look at how much Ekeler makes compared to a fireman. Is that fair? Police officer? Paramedic? Teacher? Someone who works in social services and helps those who cannot help themselves? You get the point.
TGLike, how am I a traitor? Your team are traitors.

If they cut him, they save 1 mil. However, that won't happen til after the draft,.possibly during or after TC since we won't save more by waiting.
He is cheap enough, he just isn't anything special..

Even at that - will he be a guy committed or will he hold out or wait until labor day and all that stuff. Hence, I still think, trade him.

And yes, the last couple years - through no fault of his - he probably was underpaid by a couple million. But based on the current free agent class and what he will be to the offense in 2023 -he is being paid appropriately. I still am hopeful in a team like the WFT calling Telesco. Weddle was a PITA that whole last year he didn't get extended. And I know the Chargers do some stupid stuff - but between /Weddsy and his boy Acee - he was a total d**k that last year. Gordon was a hold out
These things do not go well unless the Chargers completely overpay. If I am the Chargers, I am taking the 6.25m of space and the mid round pick and moving on. And truly, I want it to happen. The Chargers offense needs some tweaks to it in personnel.
