First up on the list is veteran defensive tackle Brandon Mebane.
Mebane will be entering his 13th NFL season next year. He recently turned 34 years old and has had a tough personal tragedy to deal with. Though retirement hasn’t been mentioned in connection with Mebane, that option has to be on the table.
After playing out his three-year contract with the Chargers, it remains to be seen what is next for him.
In three seasons with the team, Mebane has registered 91 tackles and two sacks. But the reason he was brought in was for his veteran leadership and to toughen up the defensive line, particularly against the run.
