I agree...... lets go young and talented ...... create a new Chargers era....... hopefully one to be proud of.....

I hear “winning” draws attention as well.

[JOJAX85]

it would be like the mess that Cleveland was last year...... by signing a bunch of me-me players.........

Yeh, but no matter what, in the end, the elephants Win.

[SYB]

I think Dalton to the Pats makes a lot of sense and they will win 10 games because Hoodie and Josh will maximize his skill set

I just don't see Brady to the Chargers I think TN or SF make sense.

I would sure hope so, considering he had 10 or more 4 straight years for that dumpster fire, Bungles team. And for his career he's avg'd 8 wins a year, even with factoring in last years abysmal 2 wins.

[SYB]

Agreed. Might as well bring in AB, OBJ & Le'Veon, too. Give the elephants Viagra, sit back & watch the Carnage.

Been hearing some rumors that AB may try to follow TB wherever he signs. Brady seems to love they guy.

I think this is what Spanii would want. Notoriety. The Chargers would be the talk of Free Agency, the talk of the draft, the talk of training camp, they would be on the first game of the year in KC plus other Monday night games.

I don't think its the right long term move - but thats why Dean would do it.

I have been thinking the same way. It’s the biggest name in the NFL opening the new marquee stadium and west coast NFL HQ. TB12’s new production company is another piece of evidence that points in this direction.
This would be the year for the Bolts to do HARD KNOCKS.

A tidbit from EW......



Los Angeles Chargers' offer

Total years and value: two for $64 million
Average per year: $32 million
Full guarantee at signing: $64 million
Total guarantee: $64 million
Two-year payout: $64 million

Kirk Cousins set the precedent for fully guaranteed contracts at the quarterback position two years ago, and in order to lure Brady out of New England, the Chargers are going to have to sweeten the pot.

The Chargers have approximately $47 million in cap space. That does not include the roughly $5 million in additional cap space they will pick up once the trade of left tackle Russell Okung to the Panthers for guard Trai Turner becomes official on March 18, the first day of the league year. The team also has the ability to shed about $11 million in cash with the potential retirement of veteran defensive tackle Brandon Mebane and by moving on from oft-injured linebacker Denzel Perryman, so the Chargers have the financial ability to bring Brady into the fold.

By signing Brady, however, the Chargers likely would have to address the offensive line with the No. 6 overall pick instead of drafting a signal-caller such as Oregon's Justin Herbert or Utah State's Jordan Love as the franchise quarterback of the future.

The Chargers have already re-signed breakout running back Austin Ekeler, but to appease Brady, they would also need to splash the cash to bring back tight end Hunter Henry, who is a free agent. In addition, they could re-sign running back Melvin Gordon to complement Ekeler. The Chargers also have a high-dollar contract extension looming for talented defensive end Joey Bosa, who's in the final year of his rookie deal. It would take some finagling to make the money work to keep everyone.



How could the Chargers appeal to the California native? They can offer the opportunity for a fresh start in Los Angeles, where his family has a home, and dynamic playmakers like Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Ekeler at his disposal. He would also be a draw for fans in the newly built SoFi Stadium and help raise the team's fledgling footprint in L.A. And if Brady can still play, the Chargers would once again be a Super Bowl contender. -- Eric D. Williams

Ugh. There's not enough paint thinner for all that writing on the wall...

[21&500]

It kinda feels like this is the last and biggest way Brady can screw the Chargers
a failed attempt at winning without Bill
cap space taken away
left with AB to cancer up our wr corps

end of the day Brady is fine still retiring as the GOAT and we’re left to pick up the pieces.

[gzubeck]

Ugh. There's not enough paint thinner for all that writing on the wall...

I'd rather draft Herbert at #6 and just tell him when we get to the five yard line do a qb option every time. We'd be good for two touchdowns every game versus paying Brady $32 mil.

Johnny U came to the Chargers to die, too.

The Bolts could also offer Giselle her own private luxury box where she could set up whatever, ahem, magic shrine she wishes to bring Tommy Boy success...

Spygate
Helmetgate
Inflategate

Better a bridge to the future than a bridge to the past...

[Charge!]

I hear “winning” draws attention as well.

true..... but get a young superstar nd we win for 15 years.... with brady maybe we win for 2 years.... then we start over again....
