Ex-Charger Weddle lists factors to job hunt
Former Bolts All-Pro safety seeks Super Bowl contender

By Tom Krasovic | 4 p.m. Feb. 18, 2016


On the day he cleared out his locker at Chargers Park last month, Eric Weddle listed the factors that will determine where he will resume his career.

"Who wants me, No. 1," Weddle said.
High on his list as well is a team's on-field potential.

"In the next three or four years," he told the Blog, "are they going to be competitive, are they going to be division winners, are we going to have a chance at the Super Bowl?"

Weddle, who completed a five-year, $40-million contract this past season, is free to sign with another team in March. Both Weddle and Chargers General Manager Tom Telesco have said it's likely time to part ways.

A San Bernardino County native who played for Utah and joined the Chargers in 2007, Weddle said the location of potential employers won't be a factor, adding that his wife and four children are "excited" about where the job search will lead.

He ticked off other ingredients to the decision.

"The division, where they see me fitting, how can I help? will I be what they want? is it a good fit?" he said. "I think I can play any scheme so that’s not really an issue."

A Weddle-Jones pair would be worlds better than what we had last year. Even with slowly declining Weddle

$50 says he goes to the highest bidder regardless of their future outlook.This guy knows this will be his last big contract, he is going to look for big money.

Maybe. Some players who have been around for a few years like him would sacrafice a few bucks to sign with a good team. They value winning more than more money they don't need.

I don't know if he would consider dallas a sb contender. Knowing how dallas rolls they won't do anything at safety anyway.

We absolutely must get one defensive player at each level of the defense.

Weddle in FA would make me want Jack at 4 and best available DT 2nd round.

That'd be good but we would still need de and dt and cb via fa.

That is a misrepresentation of our team.

We arent a 4 win team, but I dont feel you come off a 4 win season and call yourself a contender. I believe we overachieved in 2014 and won 12 games with 10 win talent. I don't even think we have 10 win talent right now. Even with Romo we werent controling games like we were in 2014. I think we are an 8 win that may get lucky and win 10
