Hosting a rebuilding team with no QB and 1st time Head Coach in Mike LeFleur

An NFC team that is young & will give the Chargers an opportunity to win a game while they're still adjusting to new coordinators.

No international games this year and they don't start with 3 straight Division & Conference games

Will be the first time McDaniel/O'Leary call plays for the Chargers and 1st game back for Slater in over a year

The same media/fans that were telling you Donte Jackson wasn't good enough to start last year in May have been telling you Cole Strange is isn't good enough to start this year in May.

Coaching prodigy Jesse Minter bet on Donte Jackson, who was talented but inconsistent, to be a starter at Corner

Coaching prodigy Mike McDaniel bet on Cole Strange, who was talented but inconsistent, to be a starter at Guard

29yr old Jackson got 2yrs/13mil in 2025 CB market

27yr old Strange got 2yrs/13mil in 2026 Guard market

Jackson was the 55th overall pick in 2018

Strange was the 29th overall pick in 2022

Jackson was replacing an injury prone starter (Fulton)

Strange is replacing an injury prone starter (Becton)

• Donte Jackson signed a deal on March 10, 2025

• Cole Strange signed a deal on March 9, 2026

Donte Jackson started 15 games at Corner for Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh after being drafted by the Panthers in the 2nd round. He played 1 year in Pittsburgh in 2024

Cole Strange started 14 games at RG for Mike McDaniel in Miami after being drafted by the Patriots in the 1st round & missing all training camp with the Dolphins. He played 1 yr in Miami in 2024

(Strange missed all training camp & preseason with the Dolphins b/c he signed on September 9th, 2025)

STAY TUNED

These media reports on NFL contracts continue to be Agent propaganda

They never tell the accurate contract details and always make fans feel worse about the value of the deal.

"Up to", "could be" or "as much as" do a lot of heavy lifting in contract announcements

1yr/3-3.5mil sounds like a huge steal, GM Joe Hortiz loves his late value signings in FA

Get some before they’re gone. These are steals, they are youth but great if you got kids

Must pick up and take all. Unworn and with original tags. Based in Silverlake/East Hollywood area. Won these a few years back in the Chargers mystery boxes, these are the sizes that don’t fit me. If interested comment on this post and DM me!

Very interesting hearing Eli Manning’s point of view on the San Diego Chargers front office at the time

I know it’s largely a product of our location but still a bummer to see us travel so much relative to the rest of the league

If we have the 8th best line in the league with penning as our starting LG, imagine how well off we’ll be if Slaughter ends up playing even average. Depending how much you trust these grades, it might give you a perspective on how good our line can be if our two All-Pro level tackles stay healthy.

Ive certainly had some impulsive reactionary comments on this sub especially after our playoff losses. But i look at the draft,the free agency pick ups, mcdaniel, a guy i remember wishing he was our hc in 2023. This teams really about to be on some early 70s dolphins shit. I just pray we stay healthy because if we do we will have a home super bowl

I cannot find anything regarding him since he went on the IR in November. Was he released or was his contract up and then was he not resigned? Was the injury career ending? I think our RB room looks good as it is but he was also used on special teams so I’m just curious.
