AFC Draft Rumors: Broncos, Chargers, Raiders, Darren Waller

Broncos

Former Broncos RB Phillip Lindsay, who is currently an unrestricted free agent, says heโ€™s open to returning to Denver after stints with the Texans and Dolphins.

โ€œHey, man, I would be excited to be back home. I mean, itโ€™s up the street. My family wouldnโ€™t have to move anywhere. Iโ€™d love it. I love Broncos Country. I love the fans. Theyโ€™re some of the best fans Iโ€™ve ever seen,โ€ Lindsay said, via The Denver Post.

Chargers

  • Per Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times, Chargers GM Tom Telesco said LB Kenneth Murray wouldnโ€™t be ready for OTAs as he continues to recover from ankle surgery and the start of training camp is also in doubt. 
  • Telesco mentioned they havenโ€™t decided about DL Jerry Tilleryโ€˜s fifth-year option: โ€œJerry had a really nice role for us last year. I expect an even bigger role this year. Weโ€™ll figure the contract stuff out after the draft.โ€ (Daniel Popper)
  • Telesco told P JK Scott that the team will likely bring a second punter in during training camp: โ€œIโ€™ve told JK (Scott) that weโ€™ll probably have two punters in camp. Weโ€™re excited about him. Once you guys see him, heโ€™s a really big, athletic punter.โ€ (Gilbert Manzano)

Raiders

  • The Athleticโ€™s Vic Tafur writes he thought a potential trade involving Raiders TE Darren Waller could happen next year if the team didnโ€™t want to redo his deal. 
  • However, he thinks the chances of Waller getting dealt before or during the draft this week, to the Packers or anyone, are slim. 
  • ESPNโ€™s Jeremy Fowler got a response of โ€œzero chanceโ€ when he asked around about a potential trade involving Waller.
