For those of you old enough to remember Derrick Johnson in his prime, this guy is working his way to that level.

DJ was incredible. He also got royally ****ed on a Marcus Mariota strip sack that they said was "forward progress stopped", the WORST call in NFL history.

He good. Kid can ball.

I hope he likes winning Lombardi trophy's more than he likes money. He's gonna want to get paid.


Bolton, Willie Gay, and Chenal hardly seams fair to the rest of the league.

Also picked up Drue Tranquill. Defense is gonna be sick this year.

With our roster and game planning, it wouldn't shock me if a bunch of teams forfeited against us this year. Why risk injury in a game where you're probably not going to be competitive at all?

Bolton, Gay, Chenal, Tranquill. Hard to imagine all 4 being on our roster a year from now. Who do you think we move?

I think it will be Gay.

A buddy of mine is a Chargers fan and he mentioned Tranquill being slow in pass coverage. He got burnt by Kelce in the last game we played San Diego.
We are very deep at LB so I'm not too worried but it's still an interesting observation.

To be fair, though - Kelce burns everyone in coverage. He even made Derwin James look slow trying to run him down a few times.

Do you mean "move" as in move on from? Because Gay and Tranquil are neither under contract for 2024, it's entirely possible we lose them both. I think Bolton is the only LB we pay.

Which one(s) won’t be back would’ve been less confusing way to phrase it, my bad.

I think Gay will be gone outright, and I think Tranquill is going to play himself into some big money that we won't be able to afford this season.

Yeah, but what’s crazy is, DJ took a few years to get rolling. Including a benching by Todd Haley that seemed to light a fire under him. Bolton already has “it”, and that’s scary… for every other team in the league.

I kind of disagree Gay will be gone. It seems pretty trendy to assume that but unless he has anymore off the field stuff I think he's staying

I think hes been pretty up and down, is the second best line backer on this team, may be the third best, and will get a middle of the road contract.
