Tom Telesco gained an early reputation as the “Coupon God” among Charger fans for his ability to sign discounted veterans in the second or third wave of free agency to fill meaningful roles on his rosters.
In 2022, he continued this trend with an impressive flurry of signings. Bryce Callahan, Kyle Van Noy, and Morgan Fox all signed with the Chargers post-draft to very affordable deals, with each player hoping to bounce back from a down year and regain market value in the following offseason.
As covered in a previous BFTB article covering how Kyle Van Noy and Bryce Callahan were perfect candidates for the UFA Tender, Telesco actually had a chance to secure both Van Noy and Callahan’s 2023 rights for a very affordable price.
