The LBC 1,058 Posted May 7 On 5/1/2018 at 12:28 PM, game3525 said: Hey, LBC. Any thoughts on who the Chargers might try to target in late free agency? I know some fans have kicked around Hankins and Boston, but I don't see TT pulling the trigger. I think Boston's out - there's no room for him because they're not going to cut someone (even Mager) to bring him back. Hankins could still be in play, but I doubt it unless they're doing a straight spot-for-spot swap with Mebane and I'm not sure they're ready to do that in terms of the veteran leadership on the DL; had Liuget not gotten a suspension and shot himself in the foot in terms of leadership credibility, I'd be more optimistic. I could see them, late in the preseason, looking at some of the RB castoffs or guys who are still looking for work when they see, once again, how much truly average Justin Jackson is, but that's just me and this was a front office who actually liked Andre Williams enough to not replace him last offseason. About the only positions I can see them really looking with anything remotely approaching urgency are MLB and TE (and I still think this is less of an issue since I believe Rivers and Whisenhunt can get more out of Virgil Green than McCoy/Kubiak and the relative dreck - and yes... I'm including Peyton in this - that he has throwing him the football in Denver). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't see a problem with that especially given that they gave snaps rightfully to Ekeler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteelKing728 582 Posted July 10 how is this forum still so dead? The Chargers are looking primed for a playoff berth this year and nobody seems to be talking about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Chargers are looking primed for a playoff berth this year and nobody seems to be talking about it. They’ve been primed since 2006. Nothing has ever happened. Ownership moved the team and most of us are still coming to terms with it. New fans? Los Angeles only cares about winning teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zappaz 43 Posted July 12 Same song and dance really. We have a handful of good posters but generally we all agree with each other so threads remain pretty short. Probably lost a couple of people when the Rams and Chargers moved to LA as well... *looking at you LBC!* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
