Chargers Hoping To Keep NT Antonio Garay

Found February 16, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Antonio Garay
TEAMS: San Diego Chargers

One under-the-radar free agent whom the Chargers are keeping an eye on is NT Antonio Garay. The veteran is a key part of the team's defensive line and is somebody the organization would like to bring back — at a reasonable cost. Garay is 32 and has a history of injuries, and his production dropped a bit last season, from 5.5 sacks and nine tackles for loss in 2010 to 2.5 sacks and just six stops behind the line in 2011. According to a team insider, the Chargers are optimistic they can retain Garay for the upcoming season without breaking the bank. However, Pro Football Weekly hears they'd also like to find a younger nose tackle to be part of a rotation with the veteran.

Burning question: does A.J. Smith finally commit to Vincent Jackson?

Via This Given Sunday  |  February 16, 2012
LaDanian Tomlinson. Darren Sproles. Drew Brees. Michael Turner. AJ Smith has let each one of them leave the San Diego Chargers with little more than a compensatory draft pick in return. Smith is frugal, and he believes that every player can be replaced. While San Diego have had a decent amount of success in recent years, they surely could have used some of the aforementioned players...

Marques Colston would be a great fit with the Chargers

Via Rant Sports  |  February 17, 2012
If the San Diego Chargers are unable to re-sign unrestricted free agent Vincent Jackson, Marques Colston would be a great replacement.  Jackson played in at least 15 games in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011.  In these 63 games, Jackson has caught 228 passes for 3,994 yards and 28 touchdowns.  In this same time span, Colston has caught 295 passes for 4,179 yards and 33 touchdowns while...

Bolts Could Be Tweaking Defensive Approach

Via sdg.scout.com  |  February 18, 2012
The Chargers offense, while having holes to fill, isn't in the need of attention like the ball's other side. If the Chargers are to climb from mediocrity and erase a two-year absence from the playoffs, they need to get better on the defensive side.
