Chargers have apparently determined he is not part of team next year and if someone picks up contract it relieves them of burden.

He's having his best year in terms of getting after the QB.   I think he'd be a great pickup.

Why would they just cut the guy? There must be an issue about something?

 

Their season is done, and they need to clean a bunch of cap for next year.

Currently they are $45M over the cap for next season and they don't think he fits the rebuild.

Whatever happens, I bet it happens pretty quickly.

Awesome - another bolt down for tomorrow. GO BILLS We need this win!

Seems he followed Staley to the bolts from the Rams. With Staley being fired maybe he wanted out? Classic Lawyer Milloy move would be to sign him and start him against LA tomorrow.

Maybe this affects their locker room in a negative way maybe they be a little less motivated

I wish I paid attention more to the Packers. Them losing Douglas was supposed to be huge.

This is nuts.

The Chargers are without their NFL best WR, their stud DL, and their franchse QB.  Now, they cut a standout DL!??

They've tanked the season without admitting to the same.  They're playing for draft picks.  

That locker room has to be ready to explode in frustration over a team loaded with talent, throwing away the season.

What will it take for Chargers to make playoffs if they are throwing away the season?

They do not believe they have a QB which can make a difference right now.

Would've been a great pickup before they signed Linval.   Now with Jones coming back they would just have too many DT’s especially considering Phillips injury doesn’t seem to be long term

Didn't they place him on IR?

Head start on Salary Cap problems. They will be dumping other good players; it looks like a total reset is coming for them.

interesting he had the most sacks and qb hits of career this year , after signing that contract. New administration making moves. They're going to be fired up for sure but with no Herbert or Keenan , that O should get dominated 

[BearNorth]

Had a career year in 2020, got paid, hasn't played up to the contract since.

Yes. So the earliest he could play again would be the divisional round.
