News and Notes Vikings released LB Eric Kendricks. Kendricks was in the final season of a five-year extension, but the Vikings opted to move on from the 31-year-old. Rams released LB Bobby Wagner, Wagner's release will free up at least $5 million in cap savings. The Titans released LB Zach Cunningham. Cunningham's release saves Tennessee $8.9 million while incurring a $4.5 million dead cap hit. They also released EDGE Bud Dupree ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Chiefs are expected to release EDGE Frank Clark. The Rams are expected to release EDGE Leonard Floyd. Per ESPN's Field Yates, releasing Floyd would clear $3 million in cap space if done now. However, with a post-June 1 designation, they could spread out his dead money over two seasons and create $15 million in 2023 cap space. The Rams will reportedly look to trade Floyd if possible, but his time with the team appears to have come to an end. Commanders released DB Bobby McCain. McCain's release saves the team $4.42 million, with ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting that McCain was the "odd man out" with the Commanders having young talent in the secondary. The Athletic's Jeff Howe reports a trade of Rams CB Jalen Ramsey to Dallas is "picking up steam in league circles." The Athletic's Nate Taylor writes Chiefs DT Chris Jones wants an extension "that will make him at least the second-highest player at his position." As expected, the Commanders assigned the franchise tag to DL Daron Payne. The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia writes he expects the Bills to "put their best foot forward" to retain LB Tremaine Edmunds. The Score's Jordan Schultz reports Colts LB Bobby Okereke "has a significant market" and could sign a deal "in the $12-14M range, per season." The Athletic's Daniel Popper writes it is "unlikely" the Chargers will exercise Kenneth Murray's fifth-year option. Big Shoutout to MFL for the move towards true position with the IDP position designations. Main Event Combine Review Linebackers Who was an LB who stood out to you and helped their draft stock?

On today's show we discuss ten draft sleepers that the Chargers should target according to The Athletic's Daniel Popper and which Chargers could be switching to single-digit numbers. Sleeper picks are some of the funnest prospects to look into and we start by getting into a couple of blocking tight ends, and some offensive lineman that the Chargers could bring in to build up their depth at the position. One of the key things you look for in sleepers is the ability to play special teams and we get into some sleepers at defensive back and linebackers that could be Day 1 contributors in that regard. We also take a look at a couple of defensive backs that a little riskier but would make sense if the Chargers want to double down in the secondary. The NFL approved six new rule changes and we get into the ones that interest us most and which Chargers, like Derwin James and Mike Williams, could be moving back to their college numbers in the single digits.
