The Official 2026 Chargers Season Discussion - (0-2)

[dmac_bolt]

You said it better - thats what I mean. Boze and Pipkins were needing to be replaced. The 2024 version of Bosa was good but the Chargers are not replacing the 2017-2020 version of Bosa, they are replacing the 2024 version. Perryman, when healthy, solid player, not healthy, needs to upgraded. Hoping Colson can step in but still need a veteran

IOL is the key -- but that doesn't mean that will be the first move - but it needs to be addressed

No, it doesn't. Folks assume Molden was their top priority just because he signed first - that seems like a big guess to me.

Perryman is a steady run defender but he's on the slow side of LB speed and a liability in pass pro, coupled with a higher unavailability rate. He's not an all-around great MLB to worry that much about - he won't get faster or less injury prone imo. I'll bet there are some options, haven't studied it much. I expect Colson emerges this year like Henley did last year and we have two young studs for the next several years to anchor our LB group.

Allen was released - poof, there goes that $17m salary
He is 30 - turned 30 in two months ago. Not sure if he is a fit with the Minter defense at DT. Probably would take Poona Ford based on last year but he is going to have a solid market. Poona probably will be in the $8m AAV range; my guess Allen will be a bit more

Allen, like Adams, no comp pick. Probably keeping Poona

This LB draft class imo, is not good. Depends how much we want to spend on a LB in FAcy but Robert Spillane is a good one from the Turds. Id take both Spillane and Koonce from them.

Interesting. Maybe it’s best for Andrews to reset with a new team and familiar faces. He’d immediately make an impact if fully healthy. He’s 29. I’d do it for a 5th if he’s totally healthy. Hortiz can get another development TE to pair with him and it takes TE off the board as a high need.
I’d still love me some Loveland though…

Spillane is a Harbaugh/Minter type of player and leader.
An already strong lockeroom would get even stronger and more focused. This guy is a tackling machine. Junior would benefit from his as well, and it weakens the Faders.

Ya I'd pull the trigger on a 5th but no higher.
and it wouldn't keep Loveland out of the round 1 cluster.

We trade for Andrews any FA X receiver (DK or Adams) would be luxury.

Money wise and system fit I would prefer Andrews in heartbeat.

Then we could do WR rd1 or rd2.

Hortiz never overpaid for WR.

Or Hampton RD1 and Ayamanor RD2. If Ayomanor is there…
I dunno…

Agree.

Double TE receiving threats will be epic.

40 mil per year for Trey Hendrickson

[Boltjolt]

Yeah and X is just filled with fans who have absolutely no clue about the salary cap. They giving all our picks away for every player mentioned and think we should pay these ridiculous salaries.
