Jyles Tucker Released

In a move that should shock, well, no one, the San Diego Chargers have released Outside Linebacker Jyles Tucker.

After joining the team as an undrafted free agent out of Wake Forest in 2007, he made an impact during his rookie season. In the Week 17 game against the Oakland Raiders during that 2007 season, he was awarded the AFC Defensive player of the week. The team awarded him a 5-year contract worth $14 million in 2008.

Since then, he's been very quiet, when he's healthy enough to get on the field. He spent much of the 2009 season on the bench with an ankle injury. He spent most of the 2010 season on Injured-Reserve after tearing his pectoral muscle in the week 4 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

He was due $1 million in 2011.

One of the bright spots on his mixed career was his ability to destroy the Raiders. Looks like the Chargers will need to find someone to replace the Raider kryptonite known as Jyles Tucker.

He seems like a good player if he could stay healthy. I like it, especially if it was for cheap.

      First Round Poll: Position Drafted

      By MHS831 · Posted

      This is the best reason for drafting a T--Moton's knee is also a big concern for me--I am not sure if it is still justified, but leg injuries for big men can be degenerative.  I have argued against it--I think Morgan will think it has been addressed and will draft a Late-round OT with upside.  Forsythe?  What the hell was that?  I am leaning WR (guessing what they might do) because they really don't have a Z WR, based on Cosell's description of the position. TE is in play.  DT is in play.  The thing I am most confident about?  LB in round 2.

      I think they wanted to dispell the rumors of his work ethic, but that is speculation.  Interesting point.  I am thinking (right now) that they might go WR again.

      First Round Poll: Position Drafted

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Personally, I have argued that the pick is probably unlikely to be an OT in an effort to read the tea leaves, but I am an OL fanatic and would get it. By now, they probably have info about Ickey and I think the decision will be based on the likelihood of his return to form by 2027.   Thanks to Cosell, I am more inclined to lean towards the Z WR and Concepcion or Cooper.  After he explained it, I felt that it is a need.   DT could easily be the pick.  Who did we get to replace Robinson?  I think any GM looks to upgrade a position, not simply replace.  That would suggest an early draft pick, maybe? I am not happy about having Scott back.  Please tell me that was a depth move.   When it comes to TE, I pray we don't love Sadiq.   I doubt it is a CB, C, or Edge, but if an elite CB or Edge fell to us....(to your point). I think we could try to trade back if there is a market.
