Anthony Lynn spoke to the media on Wednesday for the first time in over a month and dropped some nuggets regarding a number of off-season topics, including the quarterback spot (obviously), how he sees the offensive line unit playing out, and where he sees Chris Harris and Desmond King playing in 2020.
Chris Hayre was joined by Ryan Wilson and Will Brinson on the latest podcast over at Chargers Weekly and I suggest giving it a listen to start your day.

“Harris may no longer be in his prime but he is still an effective cornerback that is more valuable due to his ability to play in the slot. While he likely will be used at times out wide, Harris has confirmed that the Chargers are bringing him in to primarily be the slot corner, which is the role he started his career in and was best at.”

“When making this list, a couple of things were considered. 2019 performance was an obvious factor. Another was contract status. Players on one year or short term deals are under more pressure.

Tyrod Taylor front-runner to be Chargers’ starting QB, Anthony Lynn says
“I brought him in last year and I knew that if we needed him to start, if something happened to Phil, then he could go in and start,” Lynn said about Taylor, who is entering the second season of a two-year, $11 million contract. “I’m very familiar with Tyrod. I would say right now it looks like he’s in the driver’s seat, but no position is final until we get to training camp right now.”
