After keeping several of their own free agents in DE Melvin Ingram, SS Jahleel Addae, WR Dontrelle Inman, LB Korey Toomer, QB Kellen Clemens, LS Mike Windt and RB Andre Williams (along with a few others), the Chargers’ next acquisition came from Denver.
The Chargers signed LT Russell Okung to a four-year, $53 million deal with $25 million in guarantees. Okung is an upgrade at left tackle, but it cost the Chargers a decent amount of cash.
Some of the fans loved the move, while others did not approve. Here are some reactions in the Twitter universe:
Just paid 3x the going rate for Okung, told us he's 3x bigger then Dean so he gets 3x money…
Sounded right to us…#FightForLA— Anthony lynn (@FauxAnthonyLynn) March 9, 2017
