Offseason News

The LT situation continues to be news as neither side has revealed anything definitive about it and speculation abounds. I personally don't think we have the resources to get a quality running in the draft or otherwise, with so many more holes this year. The ideal situation would be that LT happily restructures his contract and all the tension evaporates. We'll see......

Talk about the contract of Philip also has been spiraling round, with rumors that it could be in the $100 million range. What I'm worried about here is AJ being cheap with paying players as he has had a habit of doing in the past. He will have to realize though that when you have a true franchise quarterback that they are the key to a Superbowl and you just can't put a price on that. AJ did give LT a dood deal a couple years back so lets hope he just remembers who his playmakers are. We will have to think about our other players whose contracts are almost up: Vincent Jckson, Marcus McNeil, Shawne Merriman, Antonio Cromartie. We just have to make sure that we have our priorites in order.

The coaching staff is beginning to take shape as Cris Dishman and Greg Williams joined the Chargers at defensive back and linebacker respectively. They join Steve Wilks and Don Johnson who joined the team to coach at defensive back and defensive line this week. Both Wilks and Johnson were assistants under Ron Rivera in Chicago.
