  Chargers | 10 players cut    Fri Aug 30, 06:27 PM

The San Diego Chargers have released SS Sean Cattouse, LB Phillip Dillard, CB Gregory Gatson, LB Jerrell Harris, CB William Middleton, LB Daniel Molls, OT Randy Richards, OG Stephen Schilling, OT Max Starks and WR Luke Tasker.

Footballguys view: Starks was a possible starting left tackle when the Chargers signed him, but 2012 Eagles starter King Dunlap won out. The Chargers will absorb a hit to the tune of one million dollars in the form of Starks' signing bonus.
