Chargers
Chargers GM Tom Telesco acknowledged during an interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio that they need to at least begin the process of planning for life after QB Philip Rivers.
โWe know heโs not going to play 10 more years,โ Telesco said. โWe have to have a plan moving forward . . . but that right moment, right guy, right time hasnโt quite gotten there yet for us.โ
Telesco also took the blake for the teamโs kicking issues last season and said theyโll need to find a solution this time around.
โWeโll get that fixed,โ Telesco said, via the Sporting News. โThat was largely my fault. We just didnโt do a very good job managing that situation.โ
Itโs worth mentioning that the Chargers signed K Roberto Aguayo to a futures contract a few weeks ago. (NFLTR)
Dolphins
Dolphins executive VP Mike Tannenbaum was noncommittal about picking up WR DeVante Parkerโs fifth option in the coming months.
โDeVante is another guy we drafted here,โ Tannenbaum said this week, via Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post. โWe want to see him reach his potential. I know itโs important to him. Obviously, heโs dealt with injuries, which is Iโm sure as frustrating to him as it is to us. Weโre going to keep working with him and try to get him to be the best player he can be. Obviously he has a big ceiling and a lot of ability. He works hard at it. Like I said, I think itโs important to him. In terms of where weโll go with his contract and his option, we have plenty of time to make that decision, so thatโs a ways down the road.โ
โAgain, weโll look at it as the offseason evolves and where that goes,โ Tannenbaum said. โAgain, we like DeVante as a person. We see his ability and, again, hope that he can grow and develop to reach his potential.โ
Ravens
The lawyer for Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey, who was recently arrested for third-degree robbery (NFLTR), says that a lot of the allegations against his client โsimply are not true.โ
โMarlon has 11 million reasons not to steal a . . . phone charger,โ Paul Patterson said, via the Baltimore Sun. โMarlon has not had an opportunity to tell his side of the story.
โThe Uber driver makes a lot of allegations in that report that simply are not true. Fortunately for Marlon, we have eyewitnesses who are willing to testify about what accurately transpired between Marlon and the Uber driver.โ
