Or maybe their thinking is that they can afford spending that much money on Thomas exactly because they have a cost-controlled James playing the other spot. Look at the Chiefs paying Mathieu 14m a year... they have Eric Berry counting 16.5m on their cap. That's a lot of money. But the chargers, on the other hand, are only paying James 2.8m. He can play all over the field. In the box, out of the box, centerfielding, linebackering, pass rushing. While having an elite playmaker backing him up... that wouldn't be a bad idea.

Looks like the Chargers just signed Thomas Davis. I wonder if that will impact a potential deal for ET or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they don't have a ton of cap space, so any signing they do has an impact. I didn't know Davis was still playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know Davis was still playing. I questioned that, too. But, if he's signing this early in FA, he must have a market and he's probably not dirt cheap either.

I wouldn't be surprised if he chose the Chargers for personal reasons, rather than financial ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Those Gipson and Amos deals are pretty light given what happened in the safety market this year lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Packers just going crazy today. Good for them. After years of suffering under Ted Thompson's frugality, they needed to let our some pent up frustration at inactivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
