Welcome Back, Keenan Allen (was Goodbye...)

[powderblueboy]

I feel sick.
I'm not convinced we couldn't have gotten more.

He'll be 32 this football season and he earns a pretty pay check.

If they could've gotten a 3rd for him, they would have accepted it.

Maybe the Justin Jefferson rumors have legs?
Some money cleared up for him this year ...... don't know about the future.

The capologists are dancing in the streets right now ..... suddenly some spending money.

Only way this makes sense.

The Bengals went to the Super Bowl with a rookie and 2nd year WR. Yet tons of CHargers fans want to keep running Herbert out there with slow possession and contested catch guys and pay them each 20 million. I don't get it. Tua SUCKS and looks like a very good QB with speed at skill positions.

Once the emotion is gone most of you will see this is the right thing to do.

I hope so BigBad
rn I don't see it.

Rip the bandaid off. No more training wheels... This is part of changing the culture, I suspect.

It's right in terms of having no speed guys. But it feels wrong in that now we have NO guys.

This draft is extremely deep at WR..

[ChargerBooster]

Fans of Detroit, Green Bay and Minnesota are going to be concerned . . and rightfully so.

Note from ChargerBooster: This potentially could turn out to be part of a yet-unseen deal, or trade, perhaps combined with another pick. Ammunition to be sure. Wonder if the draft fell the right way to us, if combined with another pick, it could and just fantasizing here, equate to another first-round pick ? We’ll have to wait-and-see.

The only roster spot that was 100% certain was Justin Herbert. No one else. But still, this was the only move that would make me sad because he was here so long. I'll get over it for sure, but its on the level of John Jefferson shock. I just wished that he would be one of those long time players that actually played his last game with the Chargers. Anyway, now just looking forward to how they will replace his play.

I think it just depends on what they add to the WR room.

As it stands, #5 pick/QJ/Palmer/DD is a very uninspiring group with no veteran presence. And don't get me wrong...I like Palmer and DD, and I think QJ can rebound. And whoever they get at #5 will be able to ball...just don't think it'll be enough.

I doubt it'll be JJ, but I do think they will try to add another WR before the draft.

This thread will be epic🤣
Hate to tell some of you we told you so…... But some of us told you it could happen!

And a big told you so! out to those who slammed me for saying all 3 should go given their cap numbers Keenan/Mike/Ekeler.

Now they can use the money on younger guys for the long term. Let’s face it. By the time they might be contenders Keenan will be nearly done.
If he refused a pay cut?, good riddance and enjoy the Chicago weather.

And more important than Justin Jefferson, it gives us a chance to move back!!
