This is where I feel we should get a cb, DE and O-line help. Some good one's up for grabs in FA. I also think Kruger should get another prove it contract.

I'd go DE in free agency. Rookies can take the most time to develop at DE.

If it's my $30M, I sign Hightower and Melvin Ingram.

Well, you've certainly got a lot to say lately...

Glad to see you're at it again, '76!

I'm slightly curious as to why the Chargers don't want to tag or re sign Ingram.
Anyone with insight on this?

Kevin Zeitler and/or Andrew Norwell, even one of them gives us an elite offensive line, both would give us the best line in football...

Defensive End would be my next priority and I'd sign Chandler Jones; he's a speed end, with good height, 6' 5", enough weight at 260 lbs. and he's a proven pass rusher and would fit great opposite Cam Jordan...

That would give us just enough money still to bring back CB Sterling Moore, FB John Kuhn, and pay WR Willie Snead is Exclusive Rights FA contract...

If we'd want another guy, we could start rolling it forward, which would be a mistake after being in cap hell these past few years...

The other option would be extend Drew, maybe Cam to bring back Fairley, but he's probably played himself out of the market for us...

Unless Fairley wants to give the hometown discount for some peace, happiness and a championship...

Jones is getting tagged if he doesn't get a new deal in Arizona?

Chandler Jones? Big Big ticket signing. Great pass rusher but is not the greatest against the run.

I could live with that trade off for a guy that has 47 sacks in 5 years. If we can get an improvement in LB play that could take care of any slack a player like Jones might leave.

Even if he's adequate, what we'd gain on 3rd downs would be tremendous...

Whatever they do, speed on defense is a must.
