Eric Weddle’s contract situation’s taking an ugly turn in San Diego

The contract impasse between the Chargers and All-Pro safety Eric Weddle already seems personal.

But their handling of the situation seems clumsy at the moment, and could be an issue at a time they have a number of other deals in the works.

According to Kevin Acee of U-T San Diego, an already ugly situation took an uglier turn with the way the Chargers are handling Weddle’s absence from OTAs.

Chargers coach Mike McCoy reportedly told players last week to move on without Weddle, suggesting that a player shouldn’t let a contract issue override his loyalty to the team.
