He's unhappy about $7.5M next year... How do you think he'd feel when DG says "we'll give you $1.5M and this bag of peanuts, take it or leave it?"

Close. But make that an even million, and take the peanuts off the table. Now that's a Gettleman offer.

Pretty sure Gettleman's offer here is...he won't make one.  Next thread.

[Bartin]

You want Gettleman to offer a guy that is under contract right now?

[Mol3m4n]

I think this speaks more to the type of people on that team.

Now look at our locker room. Grade a characters.

[PandaPancake]

Look, everyone is unhappy in San Diego right now. The Cartels are really causing a problem for going to Tijuana to get hammered,

Weddle is a FA after the 2015 season, when we will have more money to spend. Weddle was Rivera's safety when Rivera was at SD so he'd be a good fit here. Weddle is pissed at SD because he has approached SD for the last 2 years asking for an extension, and they keep blowing him off and he's fed up with them

[LinvilleGorge]

Rivera may push hard for him, but tough for me to imagine the Gman committing big money to a safety on the wrong side of 30. Might be why SD is dragging their feet too. Might be waiting to see if the wheels are gonna fall off.

Yeah, I'd rather not pay a 31 year old safety the $8-10M per year it would take to sign Weddle in the open market.

[RelaxImaPro]

I'd love to have him, but Weddle is out of our price range

[EMSMedic79]

He wants a contract that will extend him to the point where he can retire as a Charger.

This, not necessarily more money like most here assume

[AndrewLaskoski]

He theoretically could become a free agent if he keeps stomping his feet.

They could save $7.5 million by cutting him, but this is a weaker draft class than normal for safeties, especially for free safeties.

He would take $2.6 million from the Chargers, so he would would probably demand $2.5-3.5 addition million in that first year to be had.

If we extent TD and release Roman, we could probably afford it but we'd be cutting it close.

He'd be one hell of a pickup though for a stop gap.
