Happy Monday, Everyone!

It’s the start of another beautiful week, and it’s only going to get better as coverage for the NFL Scouting Combine starts this Thursday with quarterbacks, wide receivers, and tight ends taking the field for testing and on-field workouts.

Thursday will also be the most important day for the Chargers as they are finally able to start filling in some of their boxes when it comes to this year’s quarterback class. Lynn wants an athletic quarterback and they’ll be able to get a first-hand look at all the top guys as they run and jump around Lucas Oil Stadium.

Take each day as it comes and Thursday evening will be here before you know it!

Despite the new deal, Lynn and his coaching staff likely need to show marked improvement next season in order to avoid a regime change. And though the roster remains talented, playing in the same division as the defending-champion Kansas City Chiefs and superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes doesn’t help matters.”

“Some of the least expensive free-agent investments can yield significant production. Teams should dig deep to preserve cap space and find low-cost assets to fill roster voids.
