The general manager, who’s in his 10th season, declined to discuss contracts and pending free agents, but did reveal a few nuggets in Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS — Chargers general manager Tom Telesco will gladly discuss how much the NFL Scouting Combine has changed over the years and how much he enjoys being at home away from home.
The secretive Telesco rarely reveals his offseason cards before free agency and the draft, but reporters still asked about wide receiver Mike Williams, a pending free agent, safety Derwin James, who’s due for a contract extension, and defensive tackle Jerry Tillery, who’s waiting to see if the Chargers pick up the fifth-year option on his rookie deal.
Perhaps those details might be telling signs for how Telesco plans to improve the roster after missing the postseason for a third consecutive season and with quarterback Justin Herbert heading into Year 3 of his rookie deal.MORE ON WILLIAMS Telesco has often expressed support for Williams, the No. 7 overall pick in the 2017 draft. Telesco will likely push to keep Herbert’s go-to target for the long haul, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if he uses the franchise tag to keep Williams off the market and buy more time to work out a multi-year extension.Telesco said he hasn’t made a decision whether right tackle Bryan Bulaga will be with the team for the 2022 season.
That decision could come soon because the tampering period for free agency starts March 14 and Bulaga is due for a $2.5 million roster bonus later in the month. “But your circumstances change as far as cap space, as far as where your roster is, where your quarterback is, do you have a quarterback? Do you not? It’s just different, but doesn’t change our goal to go into a championship.”Telesco did slip for a second by hinting that veteran tight end Jared Cook won’t be back for the upcoming season.
