Coming off an Achilles and he’s still going to be expensive. I’d just bring back perryman and expect this coaching staff to make Colson the LB he’s supposed to be. Also. Having Molden back with Gilman next to him makes Minters job easier cause James can come down and play in the box, and that alleviates so much pressure for Colson too. -

The whole "I want to play with my baby bro" thing has been going on for at least a couple of years now...even his pay cut last offseason wasn't really a pay cut, he postponed bonus money that the Chargers were never going to give him regardless and he postponed it to this offseason so that this year it would be untenable for them to keep him at that cost, he basically made the change to his deal so that he could be free a year early and knowing that the 49ers were not in a position to sign him last year and that no one was going to pay him what the Chargers did in 2024...he might play for peanuts for SF just so he can be on the team with his brother, but I don't think he'll do that for the Chargers and I have a feeling 2025 will be his last season in the NFL anyways, his body is a mess and he already has all sorts of issues with mental health, putting his body thru something like an NFL season is not making that any better...maybe playing on the same team as his brother will alleviate some of his mental anguish...Originally posted by gzubeck View Post"The author assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors or omissions in the content of this post.

I fail to see how anybody still views him as an asset. We have 17 opportunities to be invited to the dance. He wont be there for 17. Wont be there for 11. He might give you 6. and then he gives you a sack. Whoopee. the same game he is good for at least 2 offside penalties, giving those sack yards right back to the opponent. Sorry but when your at battle stations its all hands on deck, for the duration. yes injuries happen to all, but with him you can take it to the bank. Lets move on with new weaponry.Originally posted by Fouts2herbert View PostComment

It's been past time to cut ties with Bosa, I was calling for it when we could've gotten something in exchange for him the offseason after the Jacksonville disaster...at that point with all his guaranteed money being paid he had no leverage on where the Chargers could've traded him and even if he had threatened retirement the Chargers would've been within their rights to recoup bonus money he had already deposited in the bank...Originally posted by Chargers8491 View Post
as for cleaning house and just saying fuck it, let's get the IOL fixed in regular free agency and maybe bring in a couple of guys in unqualified free agency for Herbert like maybe Devontae Adams and Mark Andrews...then rebuild the defense in the draft by going Edge and IDL with the first two picks, then picking up additional DL and Edge help on day three, this is the perfect year to reload the defense like that, unfortunately there is another side to this that bears mentioning...a political side...how do veteran free agents that you are trying to convince to come to LA react to the Chargers letting Mack and Bosa both go? Are you going to get those top notch post draft free agent guys to come to LA if they feel you're in rebuild mode?
Anyone that has an interest in taking less money to play with the Chargers because they are a contender now might think twice at making that decision now, IDK...there's a lot more to this than just a clean slate...plus both Bosa and Mack had a real good game in Houston...IDK, it's tough...
my best case scenario to continue to sell veterans to come to LA on bargain deals is to keep at least one of those two big names and potentially both, it buys you time to continue rebuilding thru the draft too...or the Chargers could go full blown LA Rams and just clean house because they feel so damn confident about their ability to find talent in the draft in any round and because they have a fantastic coaching staff...

He torn the Achilles during the SB and ended up missing the 1st 2 games this year. I took a look at Spotrac and his market value is a 1yr/6mil contract. I don't know if I agree with that. Maybe because of the injury teams won't commit a lot (prove it deal). I don't know.Originally posted by Jack Burton View PostTime to put my money where my mouth is: Hampton will be better than Jeanty!Comment

No, he only played in 2 games this year....2 games in mid December.Originally posted by Chargers8491 View PostComment

Ah ok I miss-read the info. Thanks! That makes more sense a 1-year deal.Originally posted by Boltjolt View PostTime to put my money where my mouth is: Hampton will be better than Jeanty!Comment

One nice thing about the salary cap increase is that we can now pay our players who over performed their contracts last year. That includes Mack and the DL. Pay our players first.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

That money should be enough to resign Poona, Tarte, Molden and Fulton. They all were key contributors on prove-it deals and I'd love it if they were all back. Mack is a wildcard as he may think he can find a better place to win a ring elsewhere. One thing is for sure if both Mack and Bosa are gone we need to sign an edge and draft an edge.,Comment

Poona Ford for sure. I think he outplayed his contract and should continue to be a stellar defenderOriginally posted by Formula 21 View Post
But how did Mack out play his contract last year to get a raise this year? His 2024 was worse than 2023 and he got paid $19m last year. The second half of the season was much worse than the first half. I know he had two sacks against Houston. But tackles and sacks, one of his worst seasons, excluding 2021, when he was injured.
For me, Mack on a one year deal making around $18m make sense - anything more that would be a multiple year commitment or a huge cap hit to release him (>$5-6m) just makes no sense. Still makes more sense to sign a younger DLineman who will get better over the next three years. People bring up Allen, Mack, Williams (Popper did, made no sense)-those are lateral moves at best. Time to move this team forward.
And lastly - its not about paying "our players first." Its about fielding the best roster possible - and sure, that should include Molden and Ford on defense but still, Hortiz needs to improve the roster.Last edited by Bolt4Knob; 02-20-2025, 03:26 PM.Comment
