Gus Bradley is the new Raiders defensive coordinator. He takes the job after having held the same position with the Chargers for the past four seasons. The first contract he made was that of his defensive coach, Ron Milus. And if both of them would like to get some of their high school holders back, they will have their choice.
Today, the Chargers have trimmed Casey Hayward, who was the Chargers ’starting quarterback for the past four seasons. The Pro Bowl’s two-corner kick would earn $ 11.75 million this season with $ 2.5 million dead, so it became a low head for the Chargers rebuild.
The 31-year-old becomes the last of the cornerbacks he started in the Chargers last season to enter the free agent market.
Desmond King II and Michael Davis were already due to hit the market next week when the free agency opens. All three had been with the Chargers during the four seasons Bradley was DC. And all three were starters to start last season. King was traded to the Titans midway through the season.
All three corners bring talent to the table. King is a slot machine that the Raiders need right now after throwing Lamarcus Joyner. Davis has started 35 games in the last three seasons and could be an economical option as the competition and depth abroad.
Hayward is the most accomplished of the three, with two Pro Bowls and starting almost every game in the last five seasons with the Chargers, earning more than $ 10 million each of the last two seasons. three-year extension he signed before the 2019 season.
The Chargers have had a defense of the top ten each season in which those three were the top starters. It’s easy to see why Bradley and Milus would welcome any of them to join them in Las Vegas.
