we just voided Harper and Cotch contracts

[*FreeFua*]

Cotchery did this to himself after Sunday's disgusting performance

As for Harper, he has always sucked

[Bartin]

The number of people who think this means we cut them is pretty high.

This day was set in stone for their contracts to be voided the day they set ink to paper two years ago. It was written into the contract.

Boston was clearly ready to assume the role of starting SS and Funch is ready to take over as our # 2/3 receiver. 

I appreciate both these guys for giving us everything they had over the past 2 years.

CHARLOTTE – Swayze Waters, a standout punter with a standout name, has signed a one-year deal with the Panthers.

Waters, an Alabama-Birmingham product, kicked in the Canadian Football League the last four seasons. He was the CFL's special teams player of the year in 2014 after averaging 47.7 yards per punt and hitting 47-of-52 field goals as well as all 40 of his PATs.

He missed most of last season – his fourth with the Toronto Argoanauts – with a hip injury. Prior to moving to the CFL, Swayze spent offseason time with the Lions, Raiders and Steelers from 2009-11.

Cutting Harper and Cotchery is actually $1.5 mil more expensive than keeping them on the roster.  With their pending releases, we are $17.365 mil under the CAP.  We are not currently $30 mil under the cap, like some are posting.

Huh, a punter that can also kick field goals and PATs?

Pretty good set of skill to tote around if you can be really good at one or the other.

lol speaking of the devil...

Any other players doing this stuff? I heard on ESPN some douche say his defense and some vets would hate him for not diving in the fumble. I thought it was bs

Don't think so.  The Chargers are nearing an all out rebuild/retool, and may as well get young.

Expect to see some of their better players being shown the door if they are on the wrong side of 30.  

Can't get rid of Rivers, but Weddle, Gates, Floyd, etc...will be moving on soon.

I love how our fan base dumps on people the moment they're released. 

Harper wasn't as bad as many would have u believe. He was still a starter in the NFL even at his old age. Great veteran leadership as well.

Cotchery earned his money mentoring our young wideouts. He lost us that game if u ask me. Burnt Von Miller in the sideline, and just dropped the ball inside the 5 in a 13-7 game. I won't count the challenge play against him, because in my eyes that will always be a catch, but if his punk ass didn't bobble it initially then it wouldn't have happened.

Ron and Dave knew this was coming, which is why they were so stern and adamant that the locker room would never be the same!

Sad that we couldn't finish, but let's not throw guys that were literally " " that close to being Super Bowl champs.

We're classier than that

No, he hates the Chargers and has said he will only play for a contender next year. The disagreement last year is because he felt he deserved an extension after being a faithful servant for 8 years and not having to go into a year without knowing his future and it was disrespectful of the Chargers to not even offer him anything. The Chargers offered him nothing. It was never about getting a big payday. He just wanted security.

Not a surprise.
