To this point, San Diego Chargers general manager Tom Telesco has had a good offseason with the San Diego Chargers. But one of the main moves he made last year—signing free-agent offensive lineman Orlando Franklin—didn’t quite pan out.
Franklin signed a five-year, $36.5 million deal with the Chargers following the 2014 season, in which Telesco lured him away from division rival Denver. Franklin also got a guaranteed $16.5 million for the first two years of the deal.
Following last year, some would say that his signing was a bad move by Telesco. Due to injuries, Franklin played in a career-low 10 games in 2015 and wasn’t all that effective when he was on the field.
