Los Angeles Chargers release cornerback Casey Hayward Jr. after 5 years

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Casey Hayward Jr. was released by the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday. The cornerback spent five seasons with the franchise after signing as a free agent in 2016.

"While the decision to add Casey to the team was obviously one of the best free agent signings we have ever made, this roster-related decision is one of the most difficult," general manager Tom Telesco said in a statement. "Casey is the consummate professional and a shining example for everyone who aspires to play in the NFL."
