The start of offseason workouts a year ago signaled the beginning of some drama in San Diego, with the departing franchise still working out at its old home until the new one in Costa Mesa was ready.
It was awkward, but the Chargers managed to figure it out.
So when the Chargers’ new round of offseason workouts kicked off Monday with a smidge of controversy, thanks to a tweet by star receiver Keenan Allen, no one paid much attention to it.
Allen’s tweet came with news that the Chargers rescinded a free-agent qualifying offer to defensive end Chris McCain, who became a reliable pass rusher last season and was Allen’s teammate at the University of California.
