Chargers releasing OL Matt Feiler

Matt Feiler had an $8.5 million cap hit for 2023.

The Chargers are releasing left guard Matt Feiler, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

Signed two offseasons ago, Feiler was solid in his first season as a Charger. However, he took a step back this past season. Feiler allowed six sacks, 40 quarterback pressures and 31 hurries.

Feiler had a cap hit of $8.5 million. The Chargers will only have to pay $2 million in dead money, and they get a cap savings of $6.5 million.

With Feiler out, Jamaree Salyer is the presumed replacement at left guard. Los Angeles initially drafted Salyer to play inside at guard.

And from what he showed this past season as the starting left tackle in place of the injured Rashawn Slater, Salyer has the makings to be a dominant player from the interior.

Chargers bringing in safety Jahleel Addae for visit

The Los Angeles Chargers team could be eyeing a reunion with safety Jahleel Addae.

The Chargers are looking to bring back a familiar face.

According to Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson, safety Jahleel Addae is visiting Los Angeles.

Coach Anthony Lynn was asked at Monday’s availability to see if it was true, and he confirmed, adding that he will be visiting at some point this week.

The decision to bring Addae in for a visit comes after Rayshawn Jenkins left Sunday’s game with an injury, and defensive back Desmond King voiced his displeasure with his lack of playing time.

Los Angeles is already without star safety Derwin James, who was placed on the injured before the regular season.

L.A. could be seeking to sign Addae to a short-term deal for depth purposes, and familiarity is key when it comes to their evaluation process.

Addae spent six seasons with the Bolts before being released last offseason. He spent last season with the Texans, posting 45 tackles and two interceptions

Notre Dame in NFL: Raiders Waive DeShone Kizer

The Las Vegas Raiders waived former Notre Dame quarterback DeShone Kizer Tuesday and it made us remember Brian Kelly’s warning to Kizer.

DeShone Kizer went from relative unknown to the top of some NFL Draft charts after his 2015 season at Notre Dame.  2016 proved to be a rough patch for him and Notre Dame both as Kizer and the Irish went just 4-8 after a heartbreaking loss at Texas in Week One.

Kizer ultimately was drafted 52nd overall, a second round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2017.  He started 15 games for the Browns his rookie season and struggled mightily to the tune of an 0-15 record as a starter.

He was then traded from Cleveland to the Green Bay Packers where he saw action in three games in 2018, throwing two interceptions and no touchdowns.

Kizer was claimed off waivers by the Raiders in 2019 but never saw regular season action in the silver and black.  Tuesday saw the Raiders part ways with the former Notre Dame quarterback.

Kizer is only 24 and with the level of play at quarterback in the NFL I’d be surprised if he doesn’t at least pop up again in another training camp.

It probably wouldn’t have made a night and day difference in terms of his NFL career but perhaps a few of those that were so quick to jump on Brian Kelly for daring to suggest Kizer wasn’t yet ready for the NFL back in 2017.

Perhaps Kelly knew something afterall.
