Antonio Gates... should we?
 
Tight end Antonio Gates isn’t ready to call it quits. The question is: Will anyone give him a chance to keep playing?

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Chargers have informed Gates they will not bring him back for 2018.

Gates turns 38 in June and played less than 50 percent of the team’s offensive snaps last season. He took a backseat to Hunter Henry, playing 500 snaps to Henry’s 598, and the Chargers added Virgil Green in free agency.

Wait until round 3 pick. We already have Fleener, Hill, alphabet, and Watson. I expect our pick will be offense. OL/TE/WR

The hourglass is running out of sand for Antonio I'm afraid.

If we have the coin do it. 8X PBer in the locker room. I doubt we have it though.

Should we go after Tom Brady?

With Brees getting older we can package a deal where we give the Patriots all of our future picks for the rest of time.

We already have one near geriatric TE on the team. We need someone young who can learn.

At this point in their careers Ben Watson is easily better than Gates.

If Gates could not outproduce Henry, I doubt he's going to be anything like what he once was. Watson is already better. If we play that chemistry card, then we can talk about someone else Brees had chemistry with in the last three years that player was here.

Brees will probably petition to sign him and then when third downs are missed, we'll find someone else to blame.

Major respect for Gates, but yeah we already have got Watson.
