San Diego Chargers’ Signing Rearranges Offseason Priorities

With the signing of free agent cornerback Donald Strickland, the San Diego Chargers appear to have addressed one glaring hole on the team.

Strickland is ideally suited for the nickel back role, providing depth to a San Diego team that was compelled to use safeties in nickel and dime packages last season. He will at least enter training camp behind Antoine Cason on the depth chart.

But the former Jet is also a veteran with enough experience and ability to step into the starting role should Cason falter. Depending on the progression of training camp and the preseason he may even earn the job outright.
