He has had his playing time limited as of late. Looks like they have seen enough of him

Can't help but think this management will look at him and maybe even consider resigning him if he works out decently. I can see it.

I don't think we will. He has been labeled a "Potential" guy. One of those guys that had tons of potential but couldn't take the next step.

He's simply lost his explosiveness, and never had reliable hands. Legedu Naanee now becomes San Diego's clear-cut third receiver. Chambers will probably get another look elsewhere, but his days of being an impact player are long gone.

Think so? I know he has a lot of supporters in the area but I would be pretty surprised if we sign him. Not that I didn't like him when he was here, but I just don't see him fitting in due to the drop issues. But maybe a return home could be his remedy?

"Potential" guy or not, he's better than anyone currently on the roster.

Bring in a familiar face to Ted Ginn. Ginn and Chambers are cousins IIRC.

Your really believe that?

He has Rivers throwing to him and is surrounded by Sproles, Tomlinson, Gates and Vincent Jackson and has 122 yards on the year so far. If he is isn't productive in that offense no way he will be in ours.

Not true Uncle Pagan. He's lost much in his years away. He's lost his job to Malcom Floyd and Legedu Naanee.

He's all done. I'm all for adding some help at WR, but Chris Chambers is not the answer.

By the way, it will go unnoticed but what a great trade by Candy. One of their only quality personnel decisions aside from drafting Soliai.

Don't see anything happening.

And I don't think he helps us much.

Make the throwback uniforms permanent!

you need to put a waiver claim on him

So the bottom 15ish teams below us all have to not claim him and we have to claim him

Well after 15 years Bettman lets hockey come back to Winnipeg. Thanks for wasting 15 years

Schefter just broke it on NFL live. Maybe we could bring him back to drop a few balls.

No link yet, but here's a tweet from Schefter from about 30 min ago.

Chambers?

I hate doing this, but the Charges just released him. Are we interested? If a Waiver Claim, it would cost us 2.5 Million..... Personally I don't think so, but would he be enough of an improvement to be worth it?

I'd take him! Think they work him out?

Chambers to be released

Per Shefter on NFL live.

So... What do we think? I'm open for bringing him back. He can run the vanilla comebacks and out routes that is our offense and probably do it better than Bess/Ginn.

I can only hope, he would be a quick upgrade if healthy

He should get a workout, but will have to clear waivers. Still just as good as any of our current options.

Not really suprising, he wasn't productive here and he wasn't productive in San Diego. End of story.

It's the gift that keeps on giving.

I wouldn't be toooo surprised if we at least look at him.

Chambers isn't going to be a long term solution, we already performed that test. Surprised they released him midway through the season though. I always like to see us looking at upgrades, not that I think Chambers would be a big upgrade, but eh, worth a look.

I think we need to get him. I was listening to wqam before the game this year, and he said he wanted to come back and maybe retire a Dolphin. Could be another gem that fell from the sky like Penny did.

Given the current state of the WR corps it wouldn't hurt to give him a shot.

No way we'll pick him up at 2.4 Mil for the rest of the year.

Will he clear waivers?

Probably an upgrade over what we currently have. Because we currently have next to nothing at wide receiver. Might be at least worth a shot but I doubt the FO will bring him in.

I'm the biggest Chambers homer but he has not looked good since Miami knocked him out of the game last year.
