The first full week of training camp has been anything but uneventful for the Los Angeles Chargers, and that continued in full force on Friday with the news the team had waived longtime special teams captain Darrell Stuckey via the waived/failed physical designation.
While many fans seem shocked by the move, with some even accusing the Spanos family of “screwing” another beloved player, I don’t buy into that narrative. First of all, it shouldn’t have been a shock to those who have been paying attention. And second, I’d argue the “Dean screwed Darrell” narrative is rooted more in a deep-seated desire to criticize all things Spanos than an understanding of what actually happened here.
