Welcome C Tyler Biadasz

[wu-dai clan]

Yes, spending top of the market for the other Tyler would make it more difficult to address the other holes on the roster. Still need starting OG's, Edge and others. Hortiz does not throw money around

Yessir. Zion @ $17 mil/yr. Khalil @ $12 mil/yr. Before Monday. Then make a bit of a splash, Joe. Like an Olympic diving silver medalist. Your guy Hendrickson would make for a great trio at EDGE.

Gave up almost as many pressures and more sacks than Bozeman. Hopefully I’m missing something on the stat sheet.

Most important thing is I hope he’s healthy. Probably drafting a center prospect this year?

Beyond the stats this is a solid and durable center. He is liked even more than his ranking by the offensive line community. Ex Brandon Thorn.

I am reading he is not a scheme fit for new OC as TB is smaller and more mobile C and they are looking for bigger body at the position + he was injured and plenty of Wsh posters believe the injury may keep him off at the beginning of the season (ankle and knee).
We shall see.

I really, really hope he’s healthy.

A bit of a gamble. Agreed it leaves us with a lot of money to address other issues, but it’s a moot point if he’s injured a bunch next year.

Nobody knows these injuries. That’s whats weird. He didn’t have surgery. So they weren’t that severe. Nobody knows the extent of the injuries. It’s kinda an odd situation. I’ve seen that this was more of a scheme issue in that they want to go on a different path and he doesn’t fit.
So be it.

I think Zion gets more and I tihnk Khalil gets more

If Zion is 17 or under -- sign him -- if he is closer to 20m -- keep walking

if mack is around the mid teens - sign him

The key thing about free agency - -
you can spend a lot like the Pats did with Milton, Spillane, Diggs, Carlton Davis and it works

You can be pragmatic, sign lower priced guys - it can work

You can also fail at both

With OL being such a need - Hortiz BETTER damn well be right. Granted, I think Biadasz is better than Mays and Fortner - so he didn't go to the lowest rungs of Center - Got a solid to good NFL Center
I get it -

Popper agrees.
Zion has to take a haircut. He’s simply not worth anything above 16.

Do we give that kind of money to Zion or David Edwards instead?

Zion was pretty bad last year. We hope he might be better next to an upgrade center and new scheme, but again it’s another uncertainty. Kinda like our new center’s health. And the uncertainties see to add up quickly.

He has played in 31 of his last 34 games. I think the Chargers management is smart enough to do their homework, including a medical during his visit.

I think the Commanders new OC is installing a new system so they wanted a more physical center and can use the cap space.

Not that Tyler, please discuss.

Bradley Bozeman vs Tyler Biadasz (2025 PFF)
Bozeman
• Overall Grade: 51.7 (40th / 40)
• Run Block: 51.1
• Pass Block: 49.2
• Pressures Allowed: 26

• Overall Grade: 70.7 (11th / 40)
• Run Block: 71.2
• Pass Block: 67.1
• Pressures Allowed: 21
• Sacks Allowed: 3

To be fair, we should point out that Biadasz wasn't lining up to Bradley Bozeman all season long.

Exactly.

Beyond Lindenbaum and McGovern, many posters here were totally fine with Mays and even Fortner. Biadasz is better than both of those players.

Well we still need 2 starting OGs but yeah, at least the OTs are good, center is serviceable now.

You’re a tough crowd Boltx! The Chargers go from the 40th ranked C to the 11th and you’re still not happy. I love this signing because Hortiz saves money for a HUGE upgrade at C and doesn’t count against the comp formula. This gives him money to fill out the roster and continue to upgrade the IOL. Let’s not forget that they got a new OC and OLine Coach. If Devlin was still here I would still be skeptical even if they signed Linderbaum. You know Harbaugh, McD and Barry ok’d this signing.
