Chargers add former Titans CB Kristian Fulton on 1-year deal

Fulton is a former 2020 second-round pick of the Titans out of LSU.

The Chargers added a much-needed body to their shallow cornerback room by signing former Titans 2020 second-round pick Kristian Fulton to a one-year deal. The move seemingly gives the Chargers another potential starting cornerback to join the only remaining starer from 2023, Asante Samuel Jr.

Fulton (6’0, 197) played collegiately for the LSU where he helped lead the Tigers to the 2019 CFP National Championship. That same year, Fulton was named a Second-Team All-SEC selection after breaking up 14 passes and picking off another.

In his four...

The 6'5, 325-pound Bozeman was selected by the Ravens in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL draft where he spent the first four seasons of his career. While in Baltimore, Bozeman spent the 2019 and 2020 seasons as their starting left guard. He then spent the...

Easton Stick is back with the Chargers

Easton Stick returns as Justin Herbert’s backup

The question mark on the Chargers depth chart for QB2 can now be erased. Go ahead and grab a pen, not a pencil, when filling in Easton Stick’s name.

Stick has an awful performance against the Raiders that ultimately solidified the firings of Tom Telesco and Brandon Staley. But in the following games, he was less of a liability, and had some moments where he flashed potential.

There is reason to believe that Easton Stick would actually thrive as a backup in Greg Roman’s system. Roman has excelled at getting the most out...

PowderKeg Podcast Ep 5: Projecting the effects of Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa pay cuts and Keenan Allen trade

PowderKeg Podcast analyzes how much cap has been opened up for the Chargers, and says goodbye to Keenan

Hey Bolts From the Blue Family...

Yesterday was a rough one for all of us... one of the rougher ones in recent memory for Chargers fans. The Keenan Allen news stings like crazy... and really compounded by the fact that he was traded to a team in full rebuild mode, rather than to a legitimate contender.

What made it all the more surprising is the fact that adequate cap space had been opened up with the Kahlil Mack and Joey Bosa moves,...

Keenan Allen traded to Bears for a 4th round pick

This news hurts real, real bad

Adam Shefter and Jay Glazer have reported that Keenan Allen has been traded to Bears for only a fourth round pick.

This is pretty devasting news for Chargers fans. Keenan Allen has been the heart and soul of the offense since Philip Rivers retired. While Justin Herbert is his own kind of unique leader, Keenan’s charisma and swagger have been stable rally points for the offense to get behind. There are few players on the field whose absence is felt more than Allen for this offense.

Yet apparently, Keenan was approached about a pay...

Chargers News: Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa took pay cuts with their restructures

Did Khalil Mack pull the ultimate team-player move?

More details have emerged from the Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack restructures, and it shed some very positive light on two decisions that left fans initially scratching their heads.

Tom Pelissero provided an update on Twitter that not only Mack and Bosa both restructured, they agreed to take pay cuts beforehand to help ease some of the cap burden.

Khalil shed $4.25 million from his salary, going from $23.25M to $19M, which Ed McGuire then restructured. Joey shed $7 million, but the salary became fully guaranteed and was offered $4 million in...

Joey Bosa has joined Khalil Mack by restructuring his contract

Joey Bosa has restructured his deal to help open up for cap space for the Chargers, as reported by Adam Schefter.

This is an interesting move, as it recreates a similar situation that the Chargers found themself in last offseason. Joe Hortiz undoubtedly has a plan and deserves much more trust at this point than Year 11 Tom Telesco, but the decision to again create cap flexibility from two older veteran players that offered plenty of cap savings if moved is an interesting one.

An optimist would point out that...

Hayden Hurst is reportedly visiting the Chargers and expected to sign shortly, as reported by Charlie Bennet and confirmed by Ian Rapoport.

There’s other choices for an embedded Tweet here, but let’s go with the source material for a laugh.

Hurst was a first round pick in 2018, when the Ravens drafted the tight end out of South Carolina. This is another Greg Roman and Joe Hortiz reunion, and should be noted that although Hayden has had an up-and-down career, the two best years of his career were his two...
