According to ESPN.com, Eric Weddle and the San Diego Chargers have not yet come to an agreement on the looming contract extension.
Weddle has remained absent from the team’s optional workouts due to his extreme frustration with the Chargers dragging their feet. The Chargers general manager, Tom Telesco gave an exclusive insight into what’s going on.
Through an interview with Scott Kaplan and Billy Ray Smith on The Mighty 1090 AM radio, the following has been reported:
“We said before the draft that we would talk after the draft. And we did. And we talked multiple times. We listened to their concerns about his current contract. We listened to their complaints about playing too much. And we read through their statistical analysis and their financial comparisons.
We went through all of that stuff. We just decided that we’re just not at their numbers right now. It’s really as simple as that. There’s no sinister agenda there, nothing like that. Just right now it’s not there.
Each negotiation, each discussion is just different. In his case, he’s up there at the top of the market where he’s paid right now.”
With minicamps quickly approaching next week, Telesco was asked if he thought Weddle would be in attendance, to which he replied:
“I expect him to, but we’ll see next week,” Telesco said. “But I’d expect him to be here. … He’s a pro. He’s a big part of this team. We know everything about him. We’ll know he’ll be ready to go. I’m not worried about that at all.”
And there you have it folks, that’s where everything stands as of June 12, 2015.
If anything else transpires, we will report it!
