Latest Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 8:28 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Oliver
S Paul Oliver (low-to-medium priority): Oliver, a five-year veteran, has been serviceable at backing up starting FS Eric Weddle . He has one INT in each of the past four seasons. San Diego, however, looks to add a starting play maker at SS. This could prohibit the re-signing of Oliver because there will be one less roster spot available for safeties. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 8:27 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Mruczkowski
C-G Scott Mruczkowski (low-to-medium priority): Mruczkowski, a seven-year vet, has spent his career backing up C Nick Hardwick. Injuries to the O-line led to a start at guard this past season, but he suffered a concussion in that game and was placed on the injured reserve list. C Colin Baxter played well when called upon in place of Mruczkowski and the Chargers may stick with Baxter. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 8:26 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Moll
G-T Tony Moll (low priority): Moll, a six-year vet, was acquired mid-season to help stabilize the O-line. Moll played in Weeks 11-13 with one start, but did not play in the final four games. It is highly unlikely Moll will be re-signed for 2012. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 8:25 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: McMichael
TE Randy McMichael (medium priority): McMichael, a 10-year vet, has had 25 starts in the last two seasons as TE Antonio Gates has battled with foot injuries. He had 14 starts in 2011 with 30 receptions for 271 yards. The Chargers, however, have a young stud TE in Kory Sperry and if the price isn’t right for McMichael Sperry will likely be the second-string TE next season. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 8:17 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Storer to assist special teams
The Chargers added Byron Storer to the coaching staff as a special teams assistant Thursday. Storer has spent the past two seasons as the Buccaneers’ assistant special teams coach. He was a player with the Bucs from 2007-09 when he played FB and was a special teams standout. Storer will be reunited with his former coach Rich Bisaccia, the Chargers assistant head coach-special teams.  Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 8:13 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Hester
FB Jacob Hester (medium to high priority): Hester, a four-year vet, is a class act and one of the most respected players in the organization. He is a consistent contributor on offense, although he is undersized for a FB. San Diego would love to have Hester back, but if the price isn’t right they may look to upgrade through free agency or the draft. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 8:10 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Jackson
WR Vincent Jackson (highest priority): Jackson, a seven-year vet, must be brought back next season by either the franchise tag or a multi-year contract. Jackson, who has two DUI’s, has stayed out of trouble for more than two years while doing everything the team has asked of him. The Chargers should not let him walk away. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 8:08 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Harris
DT Tommie Harris (low to medium priority): Harris, an eight-year vet, had 13 tackles with 3 sacks in 13 games after he was signed in late September. Harris provides veteran leadership and the Chargers would likely welcome him back next season if -- if they can avoid overpaying for him as a role player. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 8:05 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Hardwick
C Nick Hardwick (high priority): Hardwick, an eight-year vet, was the rock of an injured riddled O-line this past season. He is a member of the Chargers’ 50th Anniversary All-Time Team and was a Pro Bowler in 2006.  Hardwick, however, has said he is contemplating retirement. If Hardwick wishes to play in 2012, the Chargers will almost certainly try to re-sign him.   Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 8:03 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Tolbert
RB Mike Tolbert (high priority). Tolbert led the team with 10 TDs (eight rushing and two receiving) in 2011. But after the emergence of RB Ryan Mathews he saw his carries fall from a career high of 182 in 2010 to 121 in 2012. The Chargers would love to keep Tolbert, but he will likely test the free agent for a team that will make him a featured back. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 7:59 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Gregory
SS Steve Gregory (medium priority): Gregory, a six-year vet, is perceived by the organization as a second-string player. Injuries to others, however, have consistently led to significant playing time and frequently he has played well, but Gregory has never established himself as a feared defender. The Chargers may look to upgrade at SS via free agency or the draft. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 7:57 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Garay
DT Antonio Garay (medium to high priority): Garay, a seven-year vet, is one of the most beloved personalities on the team, and he was a consistent contributor on defense with 57 tackles and 2 1/2 sacks in 2011. The Chargers' run defense, however, was ranked 20th in the league. San Diego may look to improve by selecting a young stud DT with a high-round pick. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 7:56 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Gaither
LT Jared Gaither (high priority): Gaither, a six-year vet, was stellar in the final six games of the season after he was signed in Week 12. Insiders have recently speculated that starting LT Marcus McNeill (neck) will be waived to save his $10 million salary for 2012. Coach Norv Turner thinks so highly of Gaither that he will be a top priority to re-sign even if McNeill is not waived. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 7:54 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Diggs
ILB Na’il Diggs (low priority): Diggs, a 12-year vet, will only be re-signed if the price is right. Diggs was originally brought in to add depth after ILBs Stephen Cooper (bicep) and Jonas Mouton (shoulder) suffered injuries in the preseason. Mouton looks to return healthy next season, and that would limit the need for Diggs. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 7:51 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Crayton
WR Patrick Crayton (low priority): Crayton, an eight-year vet, will likely not be offered a contract. Crayton only had 23 receptions for 248 yards in 2011. This is dramatically down from 2010, when he had 28 receptions for 514 yards despite missing the final six games with a wrist injury. WR Vincent Brown (round three, 82nd overall pick) will fill Crayton's shoes as a slot receiver. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 7:49 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers unrestricted free agents: Cooper
ILB Stephen Cooper (low priority): Cooper, a nine-year vet, has likely played his last game with the Chargers. Cooper tore a bicep muscle in preseason and was only able to muster one assist on a tackle before he was put on injured reserve after Week 5. San Diego will look to ILB Jonas Mouton (second round, 61st overall pick) to replace Cooper next season. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 7:47 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers restricted free agents: Sperry
TE Kory Sperry (high priority): Sperry, a three-year vet, will most certainly be retained. Sperry saw limited playing time in 2011 as a third-string TE but could see significant action next year if San Diego is unable to re-sign unrestricted free agent Randy McMichael. Sperry showed great potential in training camp and could still develop into the franchise’s next star TE. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 7:46 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers restricted free agents: Dombrowski
G-T Brandyn Dombrowski (medium to high priority): Dombrowski, a three-year vet, will likely be retained despite being badly beat four times for sacks by Raiders’ LB Kamerion Wimbley in Week 10. Other than that, Dombrowski has been reliable, and he will be priced right for needed depth. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 09, 2012 7:42 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Prioritizing Chargers restricted free agents: Brinkley
RB Curtis Brinkley (high priority): Brinkley, a two-year vet, will almost certainly be retained. The Chargers’ third-string RB in 2011 could see significant playing time next year if San Diego is unable to re-sign unrestricted free agent Mike Tolbert. Brinkley had a solid performance on MNF against the Chiefs in Week 8 when he ran for 43 yards on 10 attempts. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 08, 2012 3:43 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Despite speculation, Jackson could remain a Charger
Multiple insiders have recently speculated the Chargers will not put the franchise tag WR Vincent Jackson, thus setting him loose as a free agent. These same theories were heard a year ago and the Chargers ended up franchising Jackson. His future with the team should become clearer in a few weeks, as agents and teams tend to talk around the NFL scouting combine.     Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 07, 2012 8:43 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Report: LT McNeill likely to be waived
LT Marcus McNeill is expected to be waived before March 13, the date his $10 million salary for 2012 would become guaranteed, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. McNeill finished the season on the injured reserve list after he suffered a neck injury against the Raiders in Week 10. If McNeill is waived, the Charges will likely secure LT Jared Gaither. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 06, 2012 4:34 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Milestones on the horizon for 2012: Gates
TE Antonio Gates has 75 career TD catches and needs 6 more to match Lance Alworth’s franchise record of 81. Gates is also just seven catches away from becoming the fifth TE and the 59th player overall in NFL history with 600 career catches. Gates led the team with 64 catches in 2011 and moved past WR Charlie Joiner as the Chargers’ all-time leader with 593 receptions. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 06, 2012 4:32 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Milestones on the horizon for 2012: Jackson
WR Vincent Jackson (37) needs one TD catch to break his tie with Anthony Miller for seventh-most TD catches in franchise history. And with four more touchdowns, Jackson will pass Miller (40) for the 10th-most total TDs in team history. Jackson, who has 272 receptions, needs just 17 more to move past Tony Martin (288) for 10th on the team’s all-time list. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 06, 2012 4:30 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Milestones on the horizon for 2012: Rivers
QB Philip Rivers needs 715 passing yards to become the 63rd quarterback in NFL history with 25,000 career passing yards. (He currently has 24,285.) He also needs just 2,654 passing yards to move past John Hadl (26,938) for second in franchise history. Rivers passed for 4,624 yards in 2011, his fourth consecutive 4,000-yard season. Chargers RapidReports
 Feb. 06, 2012 4:16 p.m. - by Dan McLellan - Milestones on the horizon for 2012: Weddle
FS Eric Weddle (13) needs seven INTs to crack the team’s top 10 for career picks. Weddle had seven INTs in 2011, tied for the league lead with Patriots' CB Kyle Arrington. Weddle also led all defenders with two INTs in this year’s Pro Bowl. Chargers RapidReports
