Larry English signs with San Diego Chargers for 5 years

Well, that's that.  No big holdouts this year.  Even though there are still some picks around him who haven't yet signed, Larry English has agreed on a 5 year contract with the Chargers.  With the exception of Demetrius Byrd, who wasn't going to participate in Training Camp anyways, all of the Chargers picks are signed and in camp.

I can't remember specifically, but I think it's actually been a couple of years since the Chargers had a true hold out situation.  I'll do more research on it this weekend (probably not tomorrow, since that's my anniversary).

With everyone in camp and happy with their contracts, the team is ready to start Training Camp in an "all-business" mode.  Larry English, start taking lessons from Merriman and Phillips.  Kevin Ellison, start hitting some people and showing off those ball-hawk skills.  Louis Vasquez, use that big body and those tree-trunk legs to start plowing through people.  Gartrell Johnson, show this team what they were missing last season with the loss of Michael TurnerVaughn Martin, show that you're more than just a physical freak.  Veterans, learn the defense or the tweaks on offense and STAY HEALTHY.

When I saw that English was signed, I let out a big sigh of relief.  It feels as though contracts and money don't matter anymore.  The only thing that matters, at least for the next month, is football, football, football!  Are you ready?

Yes!!!

Lets get this right from the start! Everyone signed, healthy and ready to work! This year is already starting out much better than the last few, with all the previous injuries, holdouts and suspensions decidedly absent for a nice change.
Oh, and happy anniversary John.

Do or do not. There is no try.

Couldn't agree more about the team's health

It really feels as though we’ve lost to injuries in the playoffs the past 2 seasons, as opposed to losing to a team. It would really be nice to see how things shake out in the post-season if we’re injury-free.

Im so amp'ed up

I cant wait for it to start. Just knowing Imma be able to hear the excitement from my balcony reckons this anticipation!!! Larry could definitly be the last piece missing from this puzzle and the many 100%s of health restored. There shouldnt be no excuse, this has to be the year… NO JINXING! LETS GO CHARGERS!

Drama = over

Let’s play some ball!

Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
