I'm not worried about affording Star and Short.  We could sign a few quility free agents this year and still make it work.  The following draft class of KB, Ealy, and Short is the one that could make finances tights if we spend too much this year. 

I think you mean Turner, not Short for the following draft class. 

KB would have the 5th year option, so we could push his contract by a year.  

BUT, there's Bene too.  If Bene has a breakout year in 2016 playing on the outside, where he seems a lot better...., and if we let J-NO go.... YIKES.  Gonna be tough to pay for all these studs that Gettleman keeps drafting.  Great problem to have, but YES, TOUGH CHOICES!

Norwell too. He's probably not going to get quite as much as Turner, but he's not going to be cheap either.

I have faith that DG will draft well as he always has to make sure we have suitable replacements at these spots.

So does that mean Kurt would be moving to SS?

No because we won't sign Weddle and we will get a more suitable SS

If we signed Weddle then yes that is probably what would happen, but that's a pretty big if right now.

Corner is only a big need if we're assuming that Josh is definitely only a 1 year rental, which I don't think is set in stone. As far as an immediate need, safety is definitely bigger. Harper wasn't great but he was better than Boston and it was still a weakness. Boston could improve this offseason, and I really like him, but adding Weddle would be a huge upgrade.

In addition to this, Safeties need pressure and help underneath, and solid, consistent deep support.  Weddle's leadership and intelligence would be a plus int he backfield.  Boston is not the leader Weddle would be, nor is Coleman.  I am also very intritued about Marlowe.

Norwell was undrafted, so his contract was only for 3 years. He'll be a RFA this time next year. He could be another extension possibility sooner rather than later.

Good point. Hopefully we can get him for "cheap" and a 1st or 2nd round tender is nice fall back plan.

Definitely think we extend him this offseason. Him and KK are locks to be extended in my opinion. Also think Coleman and Oher are possible and maybe even Ginn. Philly is definitely a possibility as well but not a priority.

Every SD fans wants Jalen Ramsey cause they are tired of seeing Weddle get burned LOL

 

But yeah keep think he's some prize possession, I don't like Boston but I would rather start him then waste money on a washed up Weddle 

Every single fan of SD's that I have heard from wanted the front office to keep Weddle, much like Vincent Jackson, Darren Sproles, and Louis Vasquez, before him.

The front office doesn't want to pay him, especially if they aren't close to contending, we are, and we need him, but I'm not championing for anyone to come here.

You don't know what you are talking about, and that is proven time and again.

 Bullchit go to the charges forum, they want to move on from Weddle. I'm almost positive you didn't see one charges game all of last season. Weddle is washed up all those other guys were in there primes

Chargers signed safety Dwight Lowery to a 3 year deal, so looks like the odds of Weddle coming back to SD is very slim.

I'm pretty sure none of us watched a "Charges" game last year.
