Chargers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:05:59 PST

The Chargers get their offseason to-do list in order, and most of the holes needing patching are on the defensive side, right?

First up is Pro Bowl left guard Kris Dielman. He's under contract but a series of concussions has him contemplating retirement.
