I don't have a problem with dmac_bolt being pompous.

Birds of a feather...

We don't seem to have any LB's left. Anyone available out there?

We have Henley and Neiman. Draft Junior Colson would be nice. If not, let's see who's out there after the draft.

Great. We're paying a $4m guy to do a $8m guy's job.

Who were they paying to do Pipkins' job LAST year, and how much was THAT guy getting paid?

And while I'm firmly in the "upgrade RT" camp, I want to give credit (or perspective) where due, and say that Pip is no Storm Norton (who was horrible-- utterly outmatched on most snaps.).

I think we've known for a while that Pipkins is *not* the answer at RT, but I guess the cap hit on cutting him, outright, would be too prohibitive.

So I'll be especially curious to see if Salyer, McFadden, or anyone else can step up high enough to make Pip a game day inactive.

The new coaching staff will have their own ideas about which players are best suited for which spots. It's not impossible that this year's starting Center could be Zion or Salyer, for example.

pretty good day in Charger land, keeping Mack so I’m happy.😊

Mack is, easily, the most important 'Keep' of ANY of the Big 4 (Bosa, Allen, Mack, MikeW).

I figured that Khalil would be open to a trade, ensuring that he could play on a contender, but the fact that he was willing to restructure his contact means he *wants* to stay. This probably says a whole lot about Mack's opinion of Jim Harbaugh.

Comparing forum members to birds is an insult to perfectly innocent birds. I'm reporting your post to the SPCA.

This just in off my High (very high!) Speed (okay, meth, if I'm being honest) Sports Wire! I'm sorry, what was I saying?!? Altadena! Light up those lines! Lomita! Give me a call, and remind me what the hell I was talking about! Atascadero, save me a bed! EYE want to hear from EWE!

Why does Travis Kelce dress like a pimp going to Soul Train?

With fish tank platform shoes and all.

Lookin’ fly, FF!

I actually prefer the Mack approach - -just year by year. Just paying market value.

according to the GAC guys Mack is getting a two year deal and that he wants to retire a Charger

[Fouts2herbert]

I wonder what this means to be cut by this designation. Does it affect anything cap wise?

it just means that they had cause to not honor his roster bonus...

[wu-dai clan]

I would say Derwin and Rumph II are linebackers of sorts.

Is Colson green dot worthy ?

I expect a cheap, savvy vet.

Minter's concepts are yet to be installed or understood.

[Fouts2herbert]

So question....if we end up cutting Bosa with a June 1st designation, does that mean he can't sign with anyone til after June 1st?

Can we trade him with a June 1st designation for the trade? Thought I saw something about that but its too much for my brain to read lol
I don't think that saves us anything though. Think it has to be a cut to get the 22 mil.

he can be traded with the June 1st designation and the next team pays the 7mil bonus it all counts now but the trade can't be formalized until June 1st...

They shouldn't be paying anyone to do anybody else's job.
Draft guys that can do the job all by themselves... especially if their job is to protect the franchise QB.
Especially if those guys can help you run block AND pass block. That's why these OT's are going in the early/mid first round.

We have no swing tackle on the roster. If we draft an OT in the first and we have one. His name is Trey Pipkins.
I don't mind paying Pipkins $8.75m next year. I'd like an experienced swing tackle over Norton... or Tevi... or Sarrell...
If people are going to obsess over $8.75m... then cut him after 2024. It's a $6.75m savings... which is what you'd be paying a rookie OT.

They say Roman and Devlin are the IOL whisperers... let them whisper in the ears of Zion, Salyer, and McFadden. They're all young.
Trey has had 5 years of below-average to mediocre performances. He's hardly the guy to protect the franchise QB or help you run better.
