Official 2025 Chargers Discussion | 2025 Roster Build | In-Season

Agree, so is Adams.

Truly, I am not sure ANY player is out of the price range for the Chargers as long as after research, due diligence, scheme fit - they are the RIGHT player. That said, if he spending big money like that - I want a guy that will grow with the current team. Thats not Adams to me

Now Osa O - if he had made it to free agency, the kind of target to sign.

Bears taking on the contract

No way would I have paid that guy $17.5m

If he would have taken a pay cut down to the $10-12m range - possibly worth a 6th - if the RIGHT scheme fit for the Chargers blocking style. But not at 17.5

good play. I think he tore an ACL and now this injury -- but overall, very good player. AAV of $25m - probably puts him higher than Adams. Nick Westbrook-Ihine might be the guy after all


Osa O signed with the Cowboys - 4/80 . I like him as a candidate but have to see who will be left

4/$100 does sound rich for Joe, especially after he just swung and whiffed badly on a TE coming off injury (Hurst). Although - dislocated ankle shouldn't be as worrisome as a WR with a big knee injury. Week 7 should have been early enough last year he is ready for the first OTAs, I'd think he's ready for medical evals now though didn't web-search about it.

but what do I know.

You’re kinda comin off like a big..Diva…
; )

lol Right?

Right on Brother B! let he who is without sin cast that first diva stone ... I'll have to step aside

Bears taking on the contract

Speaking of the Bears, the Rams just traded G Jonah Jackson to Chicago for a 6th round pick:

[BigBad]

Yes or no?

[Jack Burton]

Yes or no?

I say Yeah

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

Stick is from powerhouse NDSU, where Zabel is from.

I think I was saying that in response to TCU's Savion, who would feel like a Telesco-esque pick, considering TT's selections of Jason Verrett, QJ, and Max Duggan.

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

Yes or no?

I'm pretty certain there will be a conversation between representatives of both sides, and if there's no ridiculous disparity in the contractual parameters each side has, then there will be FURTHER discussion.

It makes sense that Joe Hortiz would have *some* interest in Adams, but only at a particular price point.

Thats my concern with Godwin. I think he had an ACL one year -- he didn't miss the season but like end of one season ACL. Now he has this injury. No doubt, quality player when healthy

Face it, that the cost of a guard in today’s NFL.

What do Bolt’s fans think it’s going to cost to sign OL FAs? Hint: too damn much.

I think you nailed it. First, the Chargers should reach out and express an interest. If the contract is within reason, like you said, continue the dialogue.

My guess, mutual interest on both parties. Adams would be on the West Coast playing with a pretty darn good QB; the Chargers have a need at the WR position and he would complement Ladd very well.

(added bonus for Hortiz, comp pick game - he wouldn't count)
