My Charger Projected roster for 2008

This is my Charger Projected roster for 2008. We will see how accurate it is when the Chargers get down to their final roster of 53 players.


Defense: 24 players on defense
DE Olshansky Bingham
NT Williams McKinney
DE Castillo Cesaire
OLB Merriman Tucker Applewhite
ILB Cooper Smith Siler Dobbins
ILB Wilhelm Waters
OLB Phillips Harris
CB Jammer Gordon
S Weddle Oliver
S Hart Gregory
CB Cromartie Cason


Dobbins because Cooper doesn't count against the roster until he comes off his suspension.

Offense: 26 players on offense
WR Chambers Davis Naanee
TE Gates Manumaleuna Chandler
LT McNeill
LG Dielman Mruczkowski
C Hardwick Newberry *(See Below for Withrow)
RG Goff
RT Clary Shelton
WR Jackson Floyd Osgood
QB Rivers Volek Whitehurst
FB Tolbert Pinnock Hester
RB Tomlinson Sproles Thomas

Special Teams: 3 players on ST's
K Kaeding
P Scifres
LS Binn

*Hardwick might stay on the PUP list then Cory Withrow will make the team until Hardwick is ready.

I believe the Chargers will keep Applewhite over Polk this year. Especially with Merriman's injury concerns. Floyd, who Norv has always liked as a WR, makes it this year because he has shown he can also now play gunner on ST's. The rest of the roster is pretty much expected.
