why was he cut?
“Telesco's remarks suggest Tillery's departure was a mutual decision, and that the veteran's Wednesday absence had something to do with his split. The big man had been serving a rotational role in the Chargers' 3-4 defense this year, playing behind new addition Sebastian Joseph-Day, after manning a starting job for much of 2020-2021”

so he's not good enough to start?

Barring injury, I don’t think we need another pass rusher.

I’m worried about Basham impeding Sam Williams’ progress as it is.

Is the dude was a big DT type, I’d be all over it.

He’s good enough to start in this league yes. They declined his 5th year option. So they likely just like the new guy better and he is their future.

He will be a free agent after this year so it’s a few game rental and he gets a chance to play and earn money

We need a MLB that hit the hole and tackles well not another pass rusher

Tillery is a nice player. Better than what we have at the 3. First, tho, see how much he wants. Not worth a big salary.

At his height, maybe he's bad vs the run?

I don't think he fit the 3-4 to begin with....Get him in a 4-3....and see what he can do on 3rd downs.....in passing situations. :popcorn:

Id say he is probably equal to Odighizuwa. Id claim him and cut Gallimore. Gallimore doesn't fit and was competing for an active spot with a guy we just cut. He doesnt have a future here, and isnt doing anything in the present
