REPORT: Chargers Release OG Orlando Franklin

Happy Monday! The Chargers continue to make moves that make sense this offseason.

Orlando Franklin came to San Diego on a pretty big money free agent contract. As of this morning he was the 5th highest paid player on the Chargers for the 2017 season.

Not anymore.

Chargers released offensive lineman Orlando Franklin, per source. Chargers drafted two guards and deemed Franklin too pricey to keep.

Franklin was not good while in San Diego. He missed 6 games over the past two seasons, and at his best was average at LG.
