  Chargers | Brandon Taylor waived    Thu Jun 19, 02:30 PM

The San Diego Chargers have waived SS Brandon Taylor.

Footballguys view: He was on the PUP list before last season, but was never activated so it's not a shock he was let go. It might be hard for him to get another shot with a team much less make the final roster.

Footballguys view: Royal is dealing with a chest injury now and will give way to Seyi Ajirotutu in three-wide sets. Look for second-year tight end Ladarius Green to play a big role today.

Footballguys view: Dunlap's absence is a big problem for a Chargers offensive line that had been righting the ship after a terrible 2012. The Chiefs are going to make it hard for Philip Rivers get much going downfield today on third downs.

The San Diego Chargers have declared QB Brad Sorensen, SS Brandon Taylor, OG Chad Rinehart, OT Jeromey Clary, OT King Dunlap, WR Malcom Floyd, CB Shareece Wright inactive for Week 4.

Footballguys view: The Chargers came into the season with one of the worst offensive lines in the league, and they are down multiple starters this week. It should be a field day for Demarcus Ware and the resurgent Cowboys defense.

  Chargers | Brandon Taylor agrees to terms    Mon May 14, 05:01 PM

The San Diego Chargers have agreed to terms with third-round draft choice SS Brandon Taylor. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Taylor isn't as big as other Strong Safeties in the 2012 NFL Draft but he makes up for his lack of size with fluid movement and ball skills. Even though he's not physically imposing he does pack a punch when he tackles. Taylor is set to battle veteran SS Atari Bigby to start opposite Eric Weddle.
