The Steelers just acquired Cam Thomas from FA. I was interested to hear from Chargers fans what they thought of him. PIT was looking for a large, space-eater type of guy. I'm not sure if he was signed to be the starter or just depth. Obviously everyone can compete for the job, but do any of you think he could win the starter position? I read that he had a hell of a year in 2011, but was benched last year after the Cincy game, which doesn't look good. Any comments/thoughts are appreciated!

I don't know why the Chargers board is so dead. We have Chargers fans on the Hoop.

To answer the question, Cam is a talented Nose tackle. He was the best we had. Fell into a slump and fell quickly outta favor with the new regime. A new scene is probably best for him, and I think you guys got a player with some upside here.

We need to replace him via the draft, imo. Our first round pick now has to be either Nix or one of the top 3/4 Corners.

The Chargers made an addition to their wide receiver group on Monday.

The team announced that they have signed Nelson Spruce to their 90-man roster. Spruce worked out for the team earlier in the day.

Spruce’s signing brings him back to Los Angeles, although not with the team he played for during his first stint in the city. Spruce signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2016 and spent time on the active roster without getting into any games. He was waived last September and spent time on the Bears practice squad and the Chiefs offseason roster before landing with the Chargers.

Spruce, who holds most University of Colorado receiving records of note, joins a group fronted by Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams, Mike Williams and Travis Benjamin. They also drafted Dylan Cantrell in the sixth round this year.

The Chargers began organized team activities without defensive end Melvin Ingram, Jack Wang of the Los Angeles News Group reports. There was no word on why Ingram is not attending the voluntary workouts.

“Believe me I know he’s getting ready,” Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said, via Ryan Kartje of the Los Angeles News Group. “Wherever he’s at, I know he’s getting ready because that’s his makeup. Yeah, I’d like for him to be here with his teammates, but these are voluntary, man.”

Defensive coordinator Gus Bradley said Ingram has kept in touch with defensive line coach Giff Smith.

“Obviously, as a coach, you want everybody here,” Bradley said, via Wang. “But I’ve talked to Melvin about that. There’s a great deal of trust with him, too.”

Chris Landrum, who spent all of last season on injured reserve, got more work in Ingram’s absence.

Ingram, who signed a four-year, $64 million deal with $42 million guaranteed a year ago, has 28 sacks and nine forced fumbles the past three seasons combined. He had 10.5 sacks and 75 pressures last season.

With Hunter Henry suffering an ACL injury and quite possibly lost for the season some names to keep an eye on at the TE position for the Chargers include the following...

Marcedes Lewis
Coby Fleener
Julius Thomas

Wouldn't be surprised to see Gates get a call from the owners asking him to come back for another season.

I wish the post had panned out a little more. Godon was a let down from day 1. I watched him a lot in college and he was a phenom. Not sure what happened.
