The Chargers constructed their initial 53-man roster on Tuesday.
While the majority of the spots filled were givens, there were still a couple of surprises, primarily seeing wide receiver Tyron Johnson no longer a part of the team.
Let’s take a look at how social media reacted:
Why cut Tyron? Did you ask Justin Herbert about this before cutting him?
We all know how Aaron Roger felt after his organization cut a WR without going over it with him first.
Let's not pass off the QB in year 2 now

Now I get why you LAC fans are always beside yourselves. 99% of the time you are right and itโs validated. This is an outrage and not just TBilly which is a disgrace. Hill?!? 4RBs? 4TEs? 3QBs? Thereโs more but no point in getting into it. Thatโs embarrassing enough.

How can you not love Amen Ogbongbemiga. I really hope he succeeds. Sounds like a great guy from a great family. ๐

All of this wonโt matter next year anyway, when the Chargers top 3 wide receivers are Allen, Adams and Palmer

Iโm a little surprised about a few cuts today but some of these @chargers fans are jumping ship to other teams and asking for Staley to be fired๐คฏ๐๐๐๐ Iโm baffled but itโs #boltup 4 life!!! It must be a #diehard thing! I get it but none of these moves breaks us! ๐คโก๏ธ
