To Do List for Chargers

Over the course of this offseason there are a few things that need to be accomplished for the future of the team. This list excludes the items that can be addressed through the draft
  • Extend Philip Rivers Contract Philip Rivers is the most important part of this franchise now. While I hope we can avoid having to give him an arm and a leg, if it comes to that, he needs to be paid.
  • Extend Shawne Merriman Everyone saw the hole that was left in the Charger's defense in his absence. Probably the biggest complaint over the season was the lack of pressure that consequently led to the poor pass defense.
  • Restructure LT's Contract While I have been of the opinion that LT will never regain his former glory, LT has been the face of the franchise for so long that the drama of his situation will only serve as a distraction at this point. LT still has some good years in him and a reconstruction of his contract will e the best thing for everyone.

Just a few more quick points of things needed to be done.

  • Extend Marcus McNeil
  • Extend Vincent Jackson

I'm still indecisive on Antonio Cromartie, but my questions will probably be answered next season.
