"In 2010, the Seahawks moved down 20 spots in the second round and gave up a 2011 third-round pick in order to finagle quarterback Charlie Whitehurst from the Chargers.

Two years and $8 million later, Whitehurst is back in San Diego."

The lonely clipboard finally has its best friend back.

"sdutChargers Just talked to Chargers C Nick Hardwick. As expected, he's going 2 continue playing...Indications are that LG Kris Dielman will return too."

According to the Silver Fox.
Good to hear, Hardwick seems like a guy who would love to stay with the Bolts and doesn't need to brake the bank on his new contract, which is good news, but you never know.

Hopefully if Dielman returns he will be in good heath and be the same player he has always been. Lets just hope he doesn't make a decision he regrets later in life for the sake of him and his family.

Sad news, thoughts, prayers (however you please) to his family.

Tragic, awful news.

After the Jets game Dielman suffered a Gran Mal Seizure. Will miss at least two games. Some really scary stuff but reports are that he will be ok. Get well Diel!

"...Love Mathews. Comparing anyone to A Peterson isn't fair, but he is that kind of RB. Total package. Not sure exactly what to make of SD overall. In one way, they usually start very slow...and while they haven't looked great-they are 4-1! And Gates has yet to be much of a factor. But, Rivers hasn't looked like Rivers. I still think they are clearly the class of the AFC West-and I don't worry about Rivers."

It's good to finally see RM living up to his hype and getting some credit, he seems to only be growing into a better player each week.

According to profootball weekly the Bolts may franchise Jackson next year. If they do I really hope they sign him to a long turn, It could really get ugly in the Jackson camp, in my opinion.

"It was a direct slap in the face," said Spikes, who had a terrific debut in San Diego with a game-high 11 tackles. "You don't come in our house saying that hey I'm going to get over 200 yards and guarantee a W. That is a disrespect to us. We put in a lot of time in this game; respect every guy in this locker room as a player. I find it hard to believe and you are going to say all that and your success is predicated off the guys up front and with us knowing that. I know our guys up front -- those dogs hunt. … It was personal, absolutely personal."

Got to love having a guy like Spikes on D.

Captains: Rivers, Harwick ... Spike, Weddle ... Hester.
-Acee

No real surprises but good to know. Guessing Hester is the ST captain if anyone was confused.

Amazing story about OG finding out his half brother plays for the Niners. Worth the read.

Michael Lombardi makes the case for Rivers being a top 3 qb.

"Sproles said the only thing he misses about Southern California is the weather, "and that’s it." He also said the Saints "work a little bit harder" in training camp than he remembers in San Diego."

This leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Thanks for throwing a team that loved you and wished you the best (also paid you like one of the top running backs last two years when you weren't) under the bus. Stay classy Sproles.

Definitely don't agree with everything (especially about the right side of the offensive line) but it's a good read with some nice insight. Worth the read.

Both the Chargers and Jets are pursuing pass rusher Antwan Barnes. Damn I hate those Jets...

Excellent breakdown of Garay and how much of an impact he had last year when he was on the field and an argument that he was underused.

Hey guys, I'm a Chargers fan but thought you could appreciate this.

Interesting interview of Chargers first round draft pick Corey Liuget, he talks about Training with star Bronco player Elvis Dumervil and second round pick Orlando Franklin.

He says Dumervil is like a big brother and is teaching him how to be a pro.

Who says we can't all get along?

The Chargers are at least thinking, or "monitoring," the possibility of going after wideout Steve Smith of the Panthers.

If he is willing to redo his contract and could be had for a third rounder or less I say go for it.

Great insight by Brian Billick and a pretty good breakdown by nfl network.

"Scheduled to speak at a conference in Phoenix, Philip Rivers’ flight plans were nixed. So he got in his car and made a 700-mile round trip to give a 20-minute talk."

Next time someone tells you what a jerk Rivers is, have them read this story.

Tom Cable will not be back as the head coach of the Raiders.

"Just in case Vincent Jackson was wondering: Franchise tag for WRs this off-season is expected to be about $10.6 million. Tag coming his way." -Schefter

Oh please, please let it be true.

According to Kevin Acee the San Diego Chargers have had long term contract talks with running back Mike Tolbert. Tolbert would still be a restricted free agent next year barring a change in the new CBA but locking up Tolbert now can be beneficial to both the team and Tolbert.

The Chargers brought back Brandon Lang and Darry Beckwith to the practice squad.

Good to see that Lang didn't get picked up by another team.

What a class act LT is. I can't wait to see what seat he keeps warm in the playoffs.

What a joke.. Makes me respect FBO a lot less.
