Marcus McNeill has signed a one-year tender worth $630,000 with the Bolts after holding out this entire time in hopes for a long-term contract. The two have just a few weeks to come up with and agree on a long-term contract, which is something likely to be accomplished in the coming weeks.
The 26-year-old left tackle will be required to sit out the following three games since he was put on the roster exempt list along with Vincent Jackson on August 20. The first game that he’ll be eligible to participate in is when the Chargers meet the St. Louis Rams at St. Louis in Week 6 of the 2010 NFL regular season. His return will come just in time to hopefully be back with the team when the Chargers face some of the best right ends with the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans.
Vincent Jackson has been a spark of many trade talks; however, McNeill has not been. While the Chargers went ahead without the signing of McNeill, they were not entertaining any trade offers. While McNeill has been out, second-year Brandyn Dombrowski has been on the blindside of QB Philip Rivers and has done a decent job of protecting the quarterback allowing only three sacks on Rivers, who has a passer rating of 107. Once McNeill returns on the field and takes back his left tackle position, Dombrowski is likely to move to right tackle.
With the two-time Pro Bowler finally signing his one-year tender, wide receiver Vincent Jackson now remains as the only holdout for the San Diego Chargers. Along with his signing as well will be an improved offense, which has been struggling during the left tackle’s absence due to his holdout.
The Chargers are currently 1-1 going into Sunday’s game at Seattle against the Seahawks.
