That’s why I was asking. I remember seeing in another thread that he was an injury risk

He had a back issue this season.  I think he also had to leave a game because of concussion protocol this year, but I could be a liar.  He seemed to return strong, so I don't believe that the back will be a lingering issue.

I’m always leary when an organization lets a player like this walk.  Do they know something we don’t know?  The Chargers haven’t had a lot of success bringing these type of players in, they’re usually either injury prone or in decline in their level of play. But this is a by product of the front office not investing in o line through the draft.  We’re forced to try to build it in FA.  I like the structure of the deal, we can get out of it after two years if it doesn’t work out

This was one I could have called. Telesco was high on Linsley all the way back to Linsley's draft class.  The (very limited) contacts I had with an ear in the then-San-Diego draft room had said that if the Packers hadn't taken Corey at #161 the Chargers were prepared to take him at #165.

I’m glad we grabbed him in GB.  His very first game he was forced into action in SEA back when they dominated every phase in D and held his own in that environment. He’s played great ever since. Quality player and human. 
 

LAC are poised to make some strides. If Herbert is the guy, they have plenty of draft capital and can make moves in this crazy FA year. I hope Linsley and Bulaga play well on that line.
