...to do what?In Sendejo we trust
To miss tackles?...to do what?
To miss tackles?
king was had for a 6th. That was a huge miss. Even if he left in a year we’d get a compensatory pick and at least have a great slot guy for half a year going into the playoffs.
Are you sure it really was that huge a miss? How could 30 other teams all be so blind as to miss such a wonderful opportunity? Again, something clearly is going on with King that reduced his value from what fans expected. He was a healthy scratch in Sunday's game, and it was "not a team decision". There's something going on with him that dropped his value around the league.
Sendejo sucks. In the guy's defense, he's a 33 year old who was an undrafted free agent, who is best suited as a strong safety. So taking a guy like that and asking him to play FS...it's pretty much a recipe for disaster.
The interesting question is going to be what we do for a FS in 2021. Delpit is going to be coming back from an Achilles. So the question is going to be whether we invest in a starting free safety, or just in a backup? I doubt Delpit's recovery will be far enough along to know whether he can truly return to his former level of athletic performance. I suspect we'll try to sign a starter, and count 2021 as the year for Delpit to round fully back into playing shape. If he progresses well, then we can move one of the two after next season.

Pretty clear he was held out because he was going to be traded.
Doesnt' sound like that was the case to me. King was held out of a game last year, week 15. No trade. He had discipline issues both last year and this year, and complained on social media this year about a lack of snaps. That certainly at least suggests there were issues. Sounded like he was just pissed/disruptive/etc..
Chargers trade former All-Pro Desmond King to the Tennessee Titans
The Chargers dealt defensive back Desmond King to Tennessee on Monday, one day before the NFL trade deadline. They received a sixth-round pick in 2021.www.latimes.com
I'd agree there isn't concrete proof of exactly why he was held out. So it could be because of a trade rather than because of something else, although the NFL isn't like the NBA in terms of holding guys out of games for trades. In fact, as far as I can tell, none of the other guys traded were held out of the game prior to their trade. So why was King the only guy held out?
And then there is the issue of the compensation. With so many people looking at that trade and being convinced that getting King for just a 6th rounder was a steal...why didn't any of the other 30 GM's in the NFL see it the same way? Not a single one of them thought he was worth even a 5th rounder? Why is that?
Just seems to me that there must be more to the story if a guy who is allegedly as good as King goes for that little.
Well, if they're planning on trading a guy they have absolutely zero reason to play him a weekend before the deadline.
If he gets injured you aren't going to be able to deal him.
He would have been a great tank commander... Played in the wrong Browns era...And injure teammates

My most disliked argument of all time. “If nobody else signed/traded for them then was it really worth it?”
