The 2021 NFL season is shaping up to be a heated affair, as expected. Teams across the league have done their best to strengthen their respective rosters in the summer. Justin Herbert-led Los Angeles Chargers were active in the free agency market.

After parting ways with former coach Anthony Lynn, the Stanos family moved quickly to bring in Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator, Brandon Staley as their new boss. He is expected to help 2020 NFL ROTY Justin Herbert achieve his full potential after having a stellar debut season.

The Chargers brought in guard Matt Reiler, cornerback Michael Davis, kicker Michael Badgley, tight end Jared Cook, and guard Oday Aboushi. But their biggest acquisition last month was former Green Bay Packers star Corey Linsley.

He said, “We wanted to become a bigger team. When you sign who we feel like is the best center in football in Corey Linsley — a commander — and who’s a guy that has all of the leadership intangibles that that position acquires, then you have him and [QB] Justin Herbert running the show in the middle of your offense, we feel like that’s going to be a winning edge for us.”

“You know who [Linsley] has been partnering up with in his career [Packers QB Aaron Rodgers], one of the special guys in the league. Now, Justin and Corey can team up to be one of those special tandems in the league. I think the big thing with Corey is that we feel like he is a difference-maker. There are a lot of centers that are good players, but who is a difference-maker? We feel like Corey is a difference-maker in more ways than one — certainly with his physical skills, but then all of the intangible stuff, too,” Staley said earlier this week.

Linsley spent 7 years with the Packers before opting to leave in search of a new challenge. He penned a 5-year deal with the Chargers worth $62.5 million ($17 million in guarantees). Let’s hope he lives up to that price tag and helps Herbet unlock his full potential in the coming years.
