Antonio Gates... should we?

SmashMouth · 04-27-2018, 05:43 PM

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.

A Brees and Gates reunion.

Should you?

Stop drinking or stop doing drugs.

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.
