BucsDraftGeek47 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 is he good enough to be the highest paid center? i thought he was kind of up there in age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a matter of years / guaranteed $, but a top 3 C IMO. This definitely makes it attractive for LAC to bring in Watson as the 1-2 punch with Herbert!

Not bad for an interior OL guy imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This definitely makes it attractive for LAC to bring in Watson as the 1-2 punch with Herbert! I’m concerned about his recent back injuries from last season. Otherwise I’m super happy. This could totally backfire on us based on recent history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonKarman Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Linsley has gotten better every year he's played. He's a top 3-5 pass blocking center and the best run blocking center of the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) The talk about FA's losing $ this year is real - but not if you're elite, and the top of your class. Good for Linsley. These moves can always backfire for sure given his age - but this is a move GM Telesco had to make. He can upgrade LT at 1.13, and then find a G in either Day 2, or FA. Upgrading 3 spots on the OL would be massive to protect their franchise guy in Herbert, and for the O long-term. Getting rid of HC Lynn's all-time worst game management, upgrading the OL - man, Chargers set to bounce back strong for 2021.

jrry32 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Reasonable deal. Worth the risk. Good signing for Staley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaker90 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Great player, solid as they come as a player and as a person. Wish him all the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnobili Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 he's young enough where he should still be playing at a high level while on the guaranteed portion of his deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hopefully his back injuries aren't in the same stage as were Pouncey's hips. Otherwise this is a major upgrade over Feeney. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 love this for the Chargers - need to help Justin up front. This move also weakens the greasy grimy Greenbay Packers so I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 You guys are getting a great player and a great person. He's a leader. He's played at a high level ever since he was drafted. Never been in trouble. He is starting to have his black flare up on him, so there is a little caution there. I'm going to happily take the comp pick, but I will be sad that he is no longer a Packer. He was a great one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Ducks Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 That’s what a I like to see. Want to see the guaranteed #s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you think the body is about to break down, he's a top 3 C in the NFL easily. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
