10....your always going to lose at least one lineman to significant injury during the season and sometimes two.

:wtf:

Thats what practice squad is for.

[21&500]

I remember when I thought he was going to sign with us. Glad we didn’t.

Maybe the Falcons would be interested in trading for a particular, former first round DT that might not even make the roster here.

I don't believe Staley will keep 10. We need other position depth also. 9 OL tops, 1-2 on practice squad.

Yeah 9...but those back-ups need to have the mindset that they're only a snap away from being called up!

:2cents:

Thing is... what would you even get in trade? A conditional 6th round pick that turns into a 5th, if certain performance clauses are reached?

And you have to take a look at Tillery's comp pick impact on the team next offseason, too. He'll sign with someone, and he won't be inexpensive. Whether the Bolts would get a Comp Pick for him would depend on the size of Tillery's contract, and whether or not the Chargers sign other similar-salaried free agents, themselves. If the Bolts were to get a Comp Pick for Tillery, it almost certainly would be higher than a 5th rounder.

The main advantage in trading him would be to ensure he leaves the division. But as mediocre as Tillery has been, I don't believe he'd hurt them as a Bronco, Chief or Raider.

So-- given the DL guys the Chargers will have in camp, Tillery's greatest value to the team might be as a rotational depth player. Maybe Forrest Merrill or Brandon Fehoko will prove to be MORE valuable depth players than Tillery would be, and if so? Sure, trade him if you can!

Not expecting this crowd to be concerned he leaves the division. Call it a hunch, I think a half dozen fine fellas here would help him pack for Vegas, and chip in for a ticket.

I think he’s here this year, he’s going to be one of the primary subs, and he’s definitely on the roster. Maybe playing 20 snaps a game in more pass situations will bring his game to life. If not, he’s just a sub - they’ll sub in someone else.

[ChargersPowderBlue]

Carolina has a black helmet now. Now they have a blackout uniform.

The Giants revealed a throwback uniform. Their uniform from the Phil Simms era is good.

[Berserker76]

The Browns now have company in the "Buyer's Remorse" club. $250 million for Kyler Murray? That dude won't even take them to the playoffs.

[sonorajim]

:2cents:

Yep. I don't think any want a starter to go out but the depth want to become starters.They have to fight to win a depth slot.

There must be knowledge among ownership of a massive new TV deal coming up. Salaries are skyrocketing.

If so, I still think the best the Bolts might get for Titanic Tillery is a conditional 7th rounder...

[equivocation]

There must be knowledge among ownership of a massive new TV deal coming up. Salaries are skyrocketing.

Well, it's publoc knowledge so yeah. New TV deal is 2022 - 2033 and is massive. Wxpect big increases in cap next couple years.

[21&500]

Herbert will be the first or one of the first QBs to get a percentage of that cap as his base salary.
Florio even mentioned that recently as an alternative to having cash in Escrow.
Might be the only way Spanos can make the deal.
