Smith has been one of the most productive players in the country over the last two years but Corcoran was a force in his own right and had himself a breakout year in 2018.After combining for 14 tackles-for-loss and 6.5 sacks during his sophomore and junior seasons, Corcoran collected 12.5 tackles behind the line and 10 sacks (second only to his teammate Mike Pouncey Color Rush Jersey , Smith) during his final collegiate campaign. He was unsurprisingly named a second team All-MAC selection following the season.It’ll be interesting to see where the team believes is the best place for the ‘tweener.His measurables are the spitting image of Kyle Emanuel and they are essentially going through the same transition from college to the pros. After playing as a true defensive end for the Huskies, Corcoran is currently listed as a linebacker on the team’s online roster. If he is transitioning to a stand-up linebacker, a la Emanuel, then the Chargers may view him as a base strongside linebacker, which is almost irrelevant at this point as the team is rarely in their base personnel Isaac Rochell Color Rush Jersey , if at all.The team may also view Corcoran in the same light as Uchenna Nwosu, who played on the edge at USC before playing a bit more off-ball during his rookie season. Nwosu was inevitably placed back around the line of scrimmage late in the season and the decision reaped instant rewards as we all got to witness the his strip-sack of Lamar Jackson to seal the team’s playoff victory at Baltimore.Corcoran is definitely a player that will have to be placed in the right situation to find success at the next level. When it comes to the Chargers’ defense as of late, the chances of that are fairly high. If Corcoran gets shoved into the off-ball linebacker group, I think he’s got a 0.00% chance of succeeding. If he gets placed in the the same light as Nwosu and he adds some value along the edge, then he might have a shot in hell of sticking around. Wide receiver Travis Benjamin was set to be a free agent after the 2019 season https://www.chargersfanstore.com , but he’s struck a deal with the Chargers to stick around through the 2020 season.Field Yates of ESPN reports that Benjamin and the Chargers have agreed to an extension that also alters his deal for the current year.Yates reports that Benjamin will get a $3 million signing bonus while his base salary for 2019 will drop by $4.25 million. That salary is not guaranteed, but the $3 million payout should secure his spot on the roster this year. His cap number for the current year will drop by $2.75 million as a result of the maneuvering.Benjamin had 12 caches for 186 yards and seven carries for 41 yards while serving as the No. 4 wideout in 12 games last season. Tyrell Williams‘ departure as a free agent offers a chance for Benjamin to step up a rung in 2019, although the Chargers could still add other options in the receiving corps.
