Source: the Chargers and WR Travis Benjamin have agreed to a one-year extension through 2020. It includes a $5.5M signing bonus, while his base salary for 2019 reduces from $5.25M to $1M. Benjamin's roster spot for 2019 is secured, while the team creates $2.75M in cap space.

Well that went the opposite way most predicted

Cap space for an imminent signing?

Seems like he is one of those guys that the coaches see more in than the fans do. I guess with losing TW, I'm not surprised we extended him and freed up a bit of cap space. Not particularly a fan of his - one dimensional and frail. But he knows the offense so it's not surprising and not a huge amount of money.

The positions of need are shrinking.

The most complete roster in the NFL...

Fans, we are trading up for Ed Oliver...celebrate.

IMO, it brought his salary more in line with his expected production. He's got the team's deep speed, no sense in letting him go.

It's a weak WR draft class anyway

That catch at KC was classic

im ready to roll with Benji

WTF? What has he done to even warrant a roster spot let alone an extension? Hope it's structured to cut him in 2020.

My Corey sense is tingling. Resigned to a one year deal soon I bet.

Pretty sure they will sign someone on that list and we only draft 1 DT.

Scratch wr from the draftee lists.
