Chargers waive pair of receivers, including former draft pick Dylan Cantrell

The Chargers announced that Dylan Cantrell and Fred Vermillion have been waived and two new receivers have been brought in to provide competition at the back end of the roster.

The decision to move on from Cantrell is a bit of a surprise, but after being hobbled during his rookie year with injuries, and it appears this year was heading the same way as a shoulder injury has already slowed him in camp.

Cantrell seemed a likely bet to make the roster this year as the Chargers are thin at wide receiver behind Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Travis Benjamin.
