I agree with this. If they aren't trying than they already failed. The more they try at these, the better chance they have at improving the team.
And I wasn't thrilled about meachum, I think he is ok and he would have been an upgrade over Jones... But at what the chargers are paying him, hell no. Would rather use that to help bring in Mario Williams. I would like meachum, but with a much more modest contract. They can get someone just as good for a lower rate, or stick with what we have. He wouldn't have upgraded the offense that much
