So is Tom Telesco different now?

It appears as though Tom Telesco has traded a player for a player. That only took eight years.

As I’ve already managed to write many times on Bolts from the Blue this year, the LA Chargers GM has avoided trades at extreme levels since taking the position in 2013.

That year, he traded up from 45 to 38 for Manti Te’o, giving up a fourth. The next year, he traded up from 57 to 50 for Jeremiah Attaochu, giving up a fourth. The next year he lost his mind, making two deals, giving up fourth and fifth round picks so he could move up two spots for Melvin Gordon, then later dealing Jeremiah Sirles to the Minnesota Vikings for a sixth.
