Chargers Daily Links: Monday Open Thread

Good morning, Chargers fans!

We’re kicking off a new week with an open thread so as always, please use it as you see fit. It’s the beginning of the final dead stretch of the offseason as the team is off and away to get some much-deserved rest and relaxation before coming back for training camp so there’s not much else to do besides chop it up and enjoy the calm before the storm. Here’s to hoping time flies.

And now for today’s links.
