That is insane money. And the chargers have 44m in cap space.

Need continuity & Mack doesn’t provide that at 35.

Andrews has some health concerns and Reiter isn't a name. The classic Keim overreact would be to sign Alex Mack to a deal for 11 mil which is more than he made last year.

It is a classic Keim move. Sign Mack on a large contract soaking up cap dollars and then burn a draft pick on the same position.

I don't know maybe he wants to draft Creed and so he wasn't interested at all
The market was very thin in terms of quality regarding interior linemen, don't know what is out there
Overpaying isn't the recipe for success

Where this all becomes an issue is that we have been awful at drafting and developing OL.

Ugh. Linsley going when we were right there is a real dagger. It's going to be a hard sell to feel alright with whoever we bring in now, or end up just stuck with Mason Cole again.

Dear Solar, I understand your point that actually doesn't look good, but let's wait till the draft before being pessimistic
The class of linemen is very good, we can grab couple of guys there

It's hard to get excited for the draft when Keim's draft picks the past five years barely even play before we feel the need to replace them.
I'm also not confident in anything at 16. It's that point where you basically have no idea who is going to be there, and I don't want this team panicking and taking a position because they just couldn't find a way to address it in FA.
I'm pretty sure at least half of the league is thinking "well we're probably targeting Creed Humphrey in the 2nd!"

I’m trying to remember, has Keim ever spent big money on a top free agent?
I know he’ll sign second tier guys but not the top players.

i dont care about a name -- top third rated C last year:
Austin Reiter flashed ability in limited playing time early in his career before getting a chance to start in Kansas City, where he has become a quality starter for a championship-caliber team. Reiter is a better pass blocker than he is in the run game, with PFF grades of at least 78.0 in every season of significant playing time in that facet. In 2020, he allowed just seven total pressures and wasn't flagged for a penalty all season.

We gave Iupati a pretty big day 1 contract, which stood out at the time. DHop was a trade, but in a sense, it happened on day 1 and involved a huge contract.
And Watt this year alone was a pretty big deal.

Branden Albert was the bigger prize/contract that offseason, but still.

Those guys were good players but not top guys.
I just wish he’d target someone and get him. Seems like it’s always the fall back option.

Here’s what pisses me off. LA is one of the worst teams to sign with when it comes to taxes. AZ is one of the best. Does Keim use this when he’s making his offers?

Chargers overpaid to get the deal done, it happens.
