No thanks to that asshat. If moving on from Mack how about Christian Wilkins or one/both of their FA O Line guys?

Oh, wait - you said Christian Wilkins, never mind.

Joey Bosa has played 14 games in the last two years. How is that throwing away the season? I

Its dumping Bosa, Mack, getting rid of 2 good pass rushers (24 sacks) that is definitely throwing in the towel.

[Boltjolt]

Yeah, and I'm not basing my projections based on a player's might-get-injured theory. I'm looking at a player's overall production over his whole career. Nobody argue's that Bosa isn't productive when playing. His pressure rate is elite... and that is how I project him. The decision isn't based on emotion. Helmet throwing and Raisin Bran eating doesn't go into my evaluation. Just because he was hurt last year, it doesn't mean he will be hurt again next year. It's football. Injuries happen. I'm excited to see how Harbaugh/Minter use Joey.

If I can save $33.65m by trading Mack and restructuring Bosa... well, damn... that's an easy decision. Especially if I don't have to dismantle my defensive line... which I know my new coach will want/need to have.

But he has been injured the majority of his career. Isnt that why we get rid of Verrett? He is a even worse case but at some point you have to cut your loses, give a decent pick and move on.

Thats what id be doing.

His pressure rate is elite....it just isnt enough when you arent on the field, and i project him injured again at some point.

Throwing in the towel? Won 5 games with those dudes last yr. Bosa is a PART TIME pash rusher due to playing 1/2 a year two years in a row.
Beliichik always said 1 year sooner rather than one year later. Besides, merely unloading Telesco's money mistakes. Start fresh
Mostly, the scheme Minter has makes DE's (Edge) drop back. Will that work for Bosa. No. Mack (dropping back?) No.
Get something for them
*Cash free up
*Draft pick
Draft 2 linebackers high that know the scheme because they
*Will be fast
*Must be fast
*Blitz (act like DE's but blitz on the inside)

Hey...somebody refresh my memory, cuz Im bad about this every year...

If we know our course with certain players...and there are cuts to be made, and trades to be explored...is there a date when these moves can take place? And what is that date? Apologies, Im sure its been mentioned...just cant remember exactly how the offseason works outside of actual free agency...are all roster moves tied to that same date?

Cuts can be made starting today (see: Trubisky and the STeelers)

Teams can also start to rework contracts to get cap compliant now

Trades cannot be made until the new league year (March 15 ish). So a guy like Bosa - a team that takes him on has to be $22m under the cap to execute the trade and after they trade, they can rework the contract.

I look at each player individually. Just because I might trade Mack - doesn't mean I keep Bosa

And if there is a trade market for Mack and the Chargers can sign another player or two - how is that throwing in the towel. Its just allocating cash and the draft pick on other players.

This team was 5-12 - not sure the Chargers are breaking up the 1986 Bears on defense even if they move on from Bosa, Mack, probably Kendricks, don't bring back Murray and Gilman.

Joey has missed 33 games (that's a lot). But he's also played in 93 games. 1/3 of games missed is a lot... but it's not a majority.
Jason played in 25 of 64 possible games... that's a majority.

Quadzilla letting it be known he's down with the playing for the Chargers if Harbaugh and Roman will have him. He turned 27 last Friday. He has 1201 carries for 5211 yds (4.3 ypc) for his career. He's scored 35 rushing TDs and 12 receiving TDs.

personally don't think I'd consider trading Mack unless it was a first rounder, and.... wondering if the Rams would part ways w/19 ??

Someone has to go. All this talk about how Harbaugh would like guys to come back is smoke. The only ones I think are here to stay are KA and DJ.

[beachcomber]

think these are my trade targets for now....

19 Mack
39 Bosa
72 MW

19 Bralen Trice
31 Kamari Lassiter (trade down x2)
37 T'Vondre Sweat
39 Sedrick Van Pran
45 Cedric Gray
64 Cole Bishop
69 Zak Zinter
72 Jonathan Brooks
95 Daijan Edwards
98 Joe Milton
