The Los Angeles Chargers Offseason
The Good: Signing Corey Linsley to 5yrs/62.5 Million
The Chargers potentially have a generational talent at the quarterback position in Justin Herbert and surrounding him with great players could make them a very competitive team in the AFC and starting off by grabbing one of the best centers in the NFL is a great move. They also signed him to a great deal at 5yrs/ 62.5 million which keeps him in LA for quite awhile with an ascending Herbert and will make his overall development at quarterback exponentially greater.
The Bad: Losing Denzel Perryman
Denzel Perryman has been an underrated linebacker in the NFL since coming out of Miami and letting him go in free agency was a bad move. I know that the Chargers have Kenneth Murray who showed some major flashes of being a great linebacker but Denzel Perryman added a layer of toughness to that Chargers defense and showed flashes of his own ability to be a great player. Hopefully Kenneth Murray develops faster than Perryman but Perryman still can make an impact in the pros.
The Ugly: Letting Hunter Henry Walk
Hunter Henry is one of the better tight ends in the NFL and if not for injuries in his career he could be among t he best in the league and allowing him to leave in free agency and take away Justin Herbert's major weapons on offense could be a detrimental move for the team. Henry is a very balanced tight end in terms of skill set and will make his new quarterback, Cam Newton in New England, a much better quarterback.
