Cook is immediately the 1b to Ekeler 1a. Dalvin is so much better than the backup RBs on roster and he is 3 month younger than Ekeler.
To me it makes sense to offer Cook 3y/18m not only as insurance to Ekeler but because Chargers still have space this year. So they can pay much of that year 1 and then have Cook at like 4m per season for the next 2 years.
This would give them the option to franchise tag Ekeler for 10mil next year. And still have 2 great RBs in 2024 for about 14m which is a steal. Or if they let Ekeler leave, then they won't have a talent hole at RB in 2024 and 2025. Buys them time to find more RB talent to add over next 2 season.
I'm not sold on any of the back ups at all. I see JAGs that should never be #1RB for any team.
Lots of good reason to try and bring Cook in on a 3 year deal for 18m, IMO.Who has it better than us?

Broncos just signed Frank Clark - one year, $5.5m - with up too $2m more in incentives
Chargers could have done this deal pretty easily. Thats Floyd and Clark off the board
Tommy Gettleman - knock knock - you awake?

You sir, are much too logical to post here. Please take your common sense elsewhere . . . . . . . . .

I think this was a miss by Telesco at those dollars.

Safety
TE - veteran minimum player
Oline depth - veteran minimum player
Thats where I think the roster could still use some veteran depth And for what the Broncos paid Clark, I think the Chargers missed the boat. At worse, could have had like $1-2m of dead cap on 2024 if he hits incentives this year. Thats nothing when you are already 60m over the cap next year and Clark might help you win a few games.

They missed the boat on Clark. Who's left out there? We do have one Edge from the UDFA group... Brevin Allen, Campbell. I know nothing about him though, or about Campbell College either.THE YEAR OF THE FLIP!
