I suppose it doesn't hurt to bring him in and see what he can do...

    send him to Manywheather...

          Something I just realized ... The Chargers had 65 rostered players, based on the transactions they have reported on their website. They drafted nine players (none yet under contract, of course) and announced that they had agreed to terms with 18 undrafted free agents. That's 92 players, or two more than allowed. So I went through the roster on the Chargers' website, and six of last year's practice squad players--who the Chargers announced on Jan 13 had been signed to reserve/future contracts for the 2025-2026 league year--are not listed, giving them only 59 players included in the roster on the website. The missing players are:

          WR Jaylen Johnson

          TE McCallan Castles

          Edge Tre'Mon Morris-Brash

          Edge Caleb Murphy

          LB Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste

          S Kendall Williamson

          So did the Chargers let them go, or is the roster on the website incomplete?

            They have until May 1st to pick up that 5th year option.

              Overall not the most exciting draft for the Chargers but they address almost all of the major needs I listed. The only question mark is LG or Center. I guess that’s what FA was for. If Zion is better at Center, then we’ll hope that whoever wins the LG position if he moves can hold it down competently. And if Andre James wins the Center position instead, Zion can just stay at LG (inconsistency and all).

                Maybe I'm just high off of post-draft hopium, but I think the fact that we didn't go iOL early is telling about how comfortable Roman is with Zion.
                he's a good run blocker and with a solid C will likely get better in only his 2nd season in the system.
                OL talent is too valuable to let walk, we have the cap to perhaps be a bit ******* in our spending.
                I lean towards picking up the option.
                same with Pipkins, I let him ride his contract unless a definitive cheaper upgrade is found with Branson Taylor or the UDFA.
                secure the best OL talent even if it means overpaying a few guys, Herbert's health is worth it.

                  Just to follow up, both OTC and Spotrac list the same 65 players as my list does, including these six, so I am going to assume that they are still on the team. I forgot that Jordan Petaia is an IPP player and doesn't count against the roster limit, but they will still be one player over if they go through with all these additions. So someone will have to go.

                    GRo just added 30 IQ points.
                    Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
                    Let’s win one for Mack.

                      I think the Chargers did a hell of a job in FA, draft and UDFA's.... at lease on paper.... we addressed many posiitons of need and the team looks vastly improved on paper...

                      Herbert now has some real weapons with speed.... defense has big additions too.... cant wait till camp and pre season start.....

                        We witnessed the transformation of the Chargers.

                        Depth is so necessary, especially playing Harball.

                        Select UFAs coming...or not.

                        A vast array of weapons.

                        Let's see, EDGE.
                        KK trends towards Wide 9 type.
                        I think Minter will go Big EDGE some, w/Hand, Eboigbe, Caldwell out there.

                        Chef Hortiz and Co are comprehensive.

                        Harbaugh was all hugs and singing "He's a Jolly Good Fellow" towards Joe.

                        Did not take long, from the moment TT/Staley were fired to now.

                        Lot's of teams are incrementally better. Even The Turds got smart.

                          I was hoping for Miles Frazier in the 5th but I'm fine taking a wait and see approach for Taylor before writing the pick off. In the short clip of highlights I've seen of him is that he has a pretty good movement skills for a big guy and can get real movement in the run game imo. It's a developmental pick and for a 6th that's pretty common.
