Chargers Re-Sign OT Joe Barksdale To 4-Year Deal

March 7, 2016 | By John Gennaro | San Diego Chargers | Leave a reply Share


Joe Barksdale, starting Right Tackle for the San Diego Chargers in 2015, was perhaps the team’s lone bright spot along the offensive line last season.

He started Training Camp by playing well enough for the team to push D.J. Fluker over to the Right Guard position, and then continued playing well all season long despite a litany of injuries and issues elsewhere along the line.

Barksdale starting 16 games for the Chargers in 2015, after starting in 16 games for the St. Louis Rams in 2014, and is now set to be with the team through the 2019 season.

With a rating of 79.3, Pro Football Focus had Joe Barksdale as one of the top free agent Offensive Tackles this offseason. Now that he has been retained, Chargers General Manager Tom Telesco can focus on upgrading the Center position and possibly look at options for starting Left Tackle to replace the oft-injured King Dunlap.

Financial details of Barksdale’s deal with the team were not immediately made available.

So perhaps O-line wasn't the problem. totally

His agent screwed him priced him way too high and then the Rams decided to go in another direction. Barksdale is durable, however, I really like the kid Havenstein and in the end it worked out well for the Los Angeles Rams.

Yeah, looking back I would have preffered to have kept Barksdale and not re-signed Saffold the year before but am pretty enthusiastic about Havenstein so its a win win

He still got owned by speed rushers. He wasn't worth the money. One move that worked in our favor. Hav's is an upgrade if he can stay healthy.
