Michael Gehlken of the San Diegoย Union-Tribuneย reports that the San Diego Chargers haveย begun contract talks withย LT Jared Gaither andย C Nick Hardwick.
After losing Pro Bowl G Kris Dielman to retirement and Marcus McNeill‘s impending release, the Chargers have to get their offensive line in order the best they can and the best way to do that is to lock up their two soon-to-be free agents.
Even if they’re able to sign both players, GM A.J. Smith could look to add someone in this years draft to add some extra depth to the unit. Gaither is the best offensive tackle in this years group of free agents so it would be wise to get a done in the next few days to fend off interest from other teams.
