Will RT Joe Barksdale be a Charger in 2018?

There are four players under contract for the 2018 season whose recent play has warranted some criticism. We discussed what to do with wide receiver Travis Benjamin and defensive linemen Corey Liuget and Brandon Mebane.

Now, it’s time to weigh in on right tackle Joe Barksdale’s situation.

Barksdale was a 2011 third-round pick. Oakland gave up on him after just one season. St. Louis picked up the former LSU Tiger, and he proved to be quite serviceable. He played for the Rams for three seasons, including starting 29 of 32 games from 2013-14.
