    Chargers can gey $40M more under the cap with the same type of restructures. It does come at a cost though.

      Not as thick obviously.
      But the explosion, constant separation, surprising capabilities vs press, as you mention !
      We should consider Austin even in round 3.
      Pundits point out his across the board wins in track,
      and that CA III is definitely a football player now.
      Pundits point
      Same Tyreek vibe for me. Not all small guys are Hill, obviously, but looking at the whole body of work I think Austin's going to be a good NFL player. He's a complete WR, not a gadget player. He just happens to be 5'7"

      Also a good PR.

      5'7 173# is a similar build to Hill at 5'9" 185#

        Remember how strong Sproles was ?

          Don't forget Skyy Moore, he's going to Skyy after the combine.
          Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
          The Wasted Decade is done.

            Oh, you mean as thick as Sproles? Yeah, Sproles was a monster. Like 5'6" 195# and ripped. Austin is a WR body instead of a RB body but he still doesn't have a slight frame.

            I was just comparing to Sproles because of how fast their legs move when running at full speed.

              I remember Sproles being able the bench press a ridiculous amount.
              It was fun to watch him in pass pro.
              Rivers could destroy blitzes by waiting until the last moment and dropping off to Darren in the flat.

                Quick search says he could bench 420 and squat 700.

                  It may be the most angry I have ever been when AJ failed to resign DS.

                    That means a lot of big up front money in millions being paid out but if Kroenke don't mind, then good for them.

                      Seau & the Hitman kinda got my goat. Was that AJ or Butler?
                      Klien and John Jefferson? Fred Dean?

                        For me, it was the John Jefferson mess. It turned out to be a massive lose-lose for everyone involved. Gene Klein was a supreme cheapskate with people.... and even with horses, he wasn't that good either.
