We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the San Diego Chargers.
The San Diego Chargers are working on an extension for Liuget:
“According to Ian Rapport of NFL.com the San Diego Chargers are working on a extension with DE Corey Liuget.
Liuget, was a first round pick from the University of Illinois back in 2011. He has spent his entire career with the Chargers. Last season he recorded 4.5 sacks including a fumble recovery for a touchdown.
The Chargers have been trying to work on extensions for Eric Weddle and Philip Rivers. The talks have stalled with the two fan favorites so the organization has turned to the big defensive end.”

According to U-T San Diego, Eric Weddle‘s head coach, Mike McCoy has been criticizing him for going AWOL from the team:
“There is a lot going on with Weddle right now. He is facing a possible $73,000 fine if he chooses not to attend mini-camp in two weeks. Weddle’s agent, David Canter, said the following yesterday:
“He will play his final 16 games as a Charger as a free safety – nothing else, … His going above and beyond for them is why they won’t give him a contract extension.”
This statement came after the Chargers announcement that they will not be negotiating a new deal this year. Which is different from what the team previously said they would do.
“It’s blatantly obvious after me asking the team time and again to extend us that Eric isn’t wanted,” Canter said. “So it’s time for Eric to move on (to) where he can win and is wanted.”
