LOL @ the Raider fans coming out the woodwork, you should be worried about shoring up your atrocious line and now 4th best secondary in the division

————————————————-

“Atrocious” line? Is that what you’ll be saying when Lamarr Houston and Richard Seymour have their way with Rivers two years in a row?

He isn’t flashy but he does all the things that usually go unnoticed. Yes its a huge contract but that’s how the NFL has always gone in terms of free agency.

LOL

Raider fans not coming thru the woodwork loser, you may have run this division and owned our team but your window closed for your franchise 1st superbowl ring. OAK swept you, as a raider fan were are getting better but were not even close yet and we still swept you with Campbell lol #1 OFF #1 DEF wow, were did that get you, 9-7 and no playoffs?

Stop being blinded by lighitng bolts or charges? chargers? whatever the F that means?

Professional sports teams are judged by one thing only, thats championships. So don’t worry, no one is judging you by default lol

He has not been fully health from the start of his pro career with the Chargers. I have heard he is a good kid and smart, ( my buddy was one of his teachers in high school).And also the are hoping Cory Liuget will draw blockers freeing up the Outside linebackers.

He probably encouraged Weddle that he had a case against Alka Seltzer. Sounds like his kind of move.

He missed 11 games in 2009 with a knee injury, and even though he played through his hip injury late last season, he clearly wasn’t the same player after it happened. Durability concerns could reduce the value of his contract, especially given his age.

Also, everyone bagging on Weddle clearly don’t know what their talking about. Dude is solid and getting better.

Just think this year Weddle will be the highest paid saftey and he will still get run over by DMAC and BUSH!!!!

Weddle isnt one of them.
Just an above average Safety.

Spare a thought for Quintin Mikell, he could be regretting his hasty signing with the Rams. (4 yrs 28 mill)

Weddle’s a good player, but overpaid as hell.

Hopefully we can lock up Burnett or even get Nick Barnett for ILB. Would like to see more insurance on the WR end, get Floyd back and possible trade for Steve Smith. Some wishful thinking on my part.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 years, $40+ million and $21 million guaranteed.

The SD secondary was #1 in NFL last year, and Weddle can also defend the run. Add Sanders (if healthy) and this is an excellent secondary. It is an expensive deal, but this is one of the better young safeties in the game.

Now that teams have to spend up to 90+% of the cap, some have to pay ridiculous contracts to get up to the $120M cap leading to some truly baffling decisions/contract offers. It’s never the superstars that drive up the price. It’s the middle of the road guys who get dumb contracts driving up the numbers for the superstars. If Marshall Yanda gets $6.5 per year, then what does Logan Mankins get?

It’s being reported that Weddle got 5 years $40M. Are you effing kidding me? Awful, AWFUL contract from SDs point of view. Good for the player. I don’t begrudge him, but $8.5M for Eric Weddle? For a SAFETY? What’s Nnamdi worth if Eric effing Weddle gets $8.5M per?
