Chargers release veteran guard Orlando Franklin

Since the Chargers hired Anthony Lynn to be their head coach, he's frequently mentioned a shuffle of the team's interior offensive linemen.

He wasn't kidding.

On Monday, the team released veteran guard Orlando Franklin. Franklin had started all 26 games he appeared in after signing a hefty free-agent deal with the team in 2015.

He's the third starter on the Chargers' offensive line from a year ago to be released, joining former first-round pick D.J. Fluker and offensive tackle King Dunlap.

The Chargers spent their second- and third-round draft choices on interior linemen, taking Western Kentucky's Forrest Lamp and Indiana's Dan Feeney.
