Tony Jefferson fits the mold of my "redemption" post.
he's an SD native, former UDFA who has proven himself in the league but never became a champion.
just as he figured to settle for a scouting position in Baltimore, Hortiz comes calling with a last opportunity.
he's had a year to rest his body and survey the league.
I'd be optimistic of we signed him.2024: Far From Over

Is Jefferson a more accomplisged player with a better chance of being an effective bck up at safety than JT Woods or AJ Finley?

Jefferson has ties to several members of the Chargers staff. Jim Harbaugh is the older brother of Jefferson’s former coach, John Harbaugh, and Chargers GM Joe Hortiz was in Baltimore during Jefferson’s previous tenure with the team. After sitting out the 2023 season, Jefferson has decided he’s interested in a return and will get a chance to leave his mark with the Chargers in the coming weeks. Jefferson will be 32 this season. While his best days as a player are likely behind him, his experience as a starter would bring added value to any roster that’s looking to add depth in its secondary.

Jefferson is 32 y.o., last good season was 2018, hasn't played much since. Up and down with other teams, retired a while..
He has a chance to make #5 S out of DJ, Gillman, Woods, Leonard, Finley, Dent, Harper, Phillips if he looks closer to 2018 than any time since in his tryout.
I wish him luck. He'll need it.

Andrew Stueber is an RT/RG to also keep an eye on. He played RT/RG @ Michigan under Harbaugh and was selected in the 7th round of the 2022 draft by the Pats. He was just cut by the Pats. He spent his rookie season on the non football injury list with a torn hamstring. He spent the 2023 season on the practice squad.1- #11 Bowers TE 7a- #225 Boyd DT
2a- #35 Cooper LB 7b- #253 Vidal RB
2b- #37 Jenkins DT
3a- #66 Puni OT
3b- #69 Sainristill CB
4a- #105 Rice WR
4b- #110 Lloyd RB
5- #140 Green CB
6- #181 Nourzad C/OG

With Tony Jefferson getting a tryout with the team, that appears to show we have no interest in S Justin Simmons from Denver who is a much better player. I don’t think Hortiz would embarrass a vet with a fake tryout.
​Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
The Wasted Decade is done.
Build Back Better.
