Official 2026 Chargers Roster Discussion | Roster Build | Free Agency

There is zero evidence he is or isn't a liar... My personal viewpoint is he's a manipulative diva that never wanted to be on this team in the first place, got his contract then when age and the injuries started piling up he decided to look out for his image and future marketability.

Zero evidence he ISN’T? Ok then. i don’t convict a guy for a crime I have no evidence he’s guilty of just because he hasn’t gone and proven he is innocent. Thats unAmerican.

He could have gone UFA and gotten out of here if he wanted to. I (censored / deleted)…

I prefer to stay out of these discussions because of my username, but this is very well said.

I think we will move on from Joey and get younger at pass-rusher after this season is over. Unfortunately he's just one of those players who can't stay healthy. Saying he's not dedicated to the team is downright ridiculous, though.

I think a qualifier is required in this statement (IMO) . . . . . . . he's dedicated to the team, just not ENOUGH . . . . . . . . or to put it another way; his first priority is whatever benefits him (the most), then the team . . . . . . . . flame on

Well I guess we're lucky the court of public opinion doesn't care about evidence or guilt and innocence... The stuff ya'll reach for is hilarious. What do I do alot? What do I "fabricate"? Careful you don't float away with all the hot air you are spewing... You guys should defend Roman and the rest of the team with all this energy you have to defend a player that cares nothing for the Chargers and can't even get through 3 straight games without another paper cut.

A glute injury that affects the sciatic nerve isn't what one has in mind as glass doll status .... more like a freak thing than anything.

I have sciatica ..... put a pillow between your legs makes it easier to go to sleep.

the problem is that it is always something - it started as a back injury and now it is glute injury. he can't stay on the field.

i would be fine if they limited his plays per game all season, and he could stay on the field.

How is he not dedicated to the team enough? Because he suffers an injury on a football field?

You know this isn't going anywhere, yea or nay right? Let him get healthy and put up some sack numbers, help win 2024 games. Or not. Worry about his reputation after the season is over.
For the record, I think he'll make a positive difference this year. Guarantee? Nope.

The court of your opinion. And there you go again, right on queue. You fabricated he is a selfish lying cheat. Now you fabricated he cares nothing about the team because, well you got nothing but you just write it anyway. You fabricate shit about players all the time. Its what you do.

I’ve said this should be Joey’s last year based on his unavailability, i didnt need to make up slanders about him like you do to assess his injury history the last 3 yrs.

I’ve criticized Roman’s play calling - I have never accused him of being unethical, immoral, or improper as a person. You don’t get the difference.

its completely legitimate to question or even not accept his availability over the last 3 yrs, and to say he’s not worth what they pay him, etc. I tend to lean to that conclusion too unless he makes a pretty significant and enduring return soon. But attacking his character as a person and basically calling him a lying selfish cheat is just completely different. Thats over the line imo, uncalled for, and reflects on the guy that keeps posting it. It is what it is, its visible to all those with a sense of honor and decency.

I said what I said, I’m done with that debate. I agree there is no point to it.

i think you have the wrong guy. i said in my earlier post that i like Bosa.

i think he sounds like a good guy - the "slight" problem is that we have football games every sunday, and he can rarely play. other than that, he is one of my favorite chargers.

Wrong guy for what? I didn’t say if you support or don’t support him.

you did complain about his availability - you said its always something. … He can’t stay on the field, etc. you just said it again.

What I meant to say that your post is a legitimate topic, unlike the OTHER posts that attack his character. each can decide what it means but it’s obviously factual and worth talking about. you never called him a lying stinking thieving selfish prick bastard, sorry if you took it the wrong way - I didn’t mean to imply it at all. Your post was an example of proper and fair debate about him. sorry I don’t articulate well enough. No offense to you at all was meant.

ok, i get it now - and i did totally miss your point.

i stand by my complaint about availability, but all the other stuff (character attacks) is just garbage. if you watch him on the podcasts he done guest spots on, he seems like a really good guy.

With the biggest need on the team the interior OL, and if they can be had for a late round draft pick, there should be good return on investment. OL guys are so overpaid in FA, I would think we could get some decent return on compensatory picks. We might also have a chance to sign them early, but given their age and recent play, I am not sure they are necessarily the guys I want to target. Schreff is 32, but Hernandez is still 29, so they have some time left.
