Whether he wants to admit it or not, there are problems in the world of Jerry. One wide receiver needs a new contract. One refuses to attend OTAs until his role is defined, otherwise he’ll demand a trade. One was taken in the first round amid some of the most bizarre controversy I’ve witnessed in the NFL.

Posted: 15th May 2010 by Paul Preibisius in NFL
NFL rookies come into the league with high hopes and high expectations. Until they take the field every first-rounder's a perrenial pro-bowler while each second and third can become a day one starter. The truth generally comes up something short of expectation, that is especially true when additional factors add up to boost those expectations beyond the ordinary pressures afforded a rookie.

One thing I was bummed out about last pre-season were the final cuts made at the wide receiver category. Charger fans were treated to several great performances by Charley Martin. He looked like a great addition to the Chargers receiver corps, and every game he put his heart and soul into his performance.
