For the second time this offseason, the Chargers are releasing defensive end Luis Castillo.

Kevin Acee of U-T San Diego tweeted out the news a few moments ago.

The Chargers let Castillo go in March for financial reasons, since he was supposed to make $3.9 million with a $1 million roster bonus. But they re-signed the former first-round pick in April for one year, with a minimum base salary of $825,000.

The Chargers are solid at the position, with Corey Liuget, rookie Kendall Reyes, Vaughn Martin and Jacques Cesaire providing plenty of depth.

Castillo only played one game last year before breaking his leg. Despite that, he visited Kansas City and New England during his month of unemployment, indicating there may be a market for him now.

hmm...I doubt we jump on any FAs at any position for the time being but this wouldn't necessarily be a bad move

oh and I fully expect this thread to fill up with: Blah blah why do we make threads on every released player...yada yada :)

The San Diego/Rivera ties make it a possibility. But I really think we're trying to keep this team (especially the D) as healthy and youthful as possible.

that is dirty

cut loose because you were due a 1 mill check and a 4 mill salary only to be brought back a month later of 800k

It's easy to demonize these guys when they are negotiating contracts, holding out, getting paid while on IR, etc and then you hear something like this which I can only assume is common practice.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By strato · Posted

      We will disagree on the hiding part. Protecting from turnovers is how I saw it but not worth a million words.   I thought the receivers were given better balls than normal, as a result of the QB being sharper with his throws.   At the same time when you have games with 11 completions they aren’t getting a lot of chances compared to 31 or whatever it was.

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      The team has done a lot to make Bryce look good. You list the receivers but let's not forget the most expensive offensive line in the league that's also got its LT on a rookie contract.  Are the receivers all pro or pro bowl caliber? With the exception of Tmac possibly making the pro bowl depending on the rest of his season, no. But that doesn't have anything to do with hitting guys in stride Sunday which is something he hasn't really been able to do all season. 250YAC is crazy. It's why guys like Tyreek have always been so deadly at near full speed when it hits their hands.  I think if Bryce can do that with much more consistency, and we have the occasional real deep ball or 30 or more to keep safeties honest, Bryce could turn the corner and so could some of the receivers.

      I think Bryce balls out again and the Panthers win in a close one.  Panthers will have a defender shadow CMC the whole game so I expect he'll be contained to under 100 yards.
