The San Diego Chargers have agreed to terms with Robert Meachem on a four-year deal. He will make $25.9 million over the next four years.

Good for him, $25.9 isn't bad at all.

Meachem had good moments but never was really consistent for being a 1st round pick

It will be interesting to see how his production there for $25mil matches up to VJ at $55mil in TB

Good for Meach. Never really lived up to his potential here but SD will be a good spot for him.


One of the biggest displays of heart & determination i've ever seen displayed on a football field : LINK

He is pretty much their #1 WR right now.

Can't blame him for taking that, way too much for him. Wonder if he'll give Colston a present for staying off the market.

Wow. He won't live up to the expectations that come with that contract

Good luck Meach. Kinda weird that they're taking our players. I'm used to it being the other way around

The strip and score after the interception vs. Washington is one of my favorite plays of all time. I'll always identify it with that Super Bowl season, because I don't think we win that game, or home-field advantage in the playoffs, without that play.

Thanks for the memories, Meach

That's a much better fit for him than Buffalo. I liked having him on the team, but the value wasn't there for the Saints given the cap situation. I expect him to put up good numbers in San Diego.

After that play I just knew we had a special season going on. There was just something different about that season. We would always seem to find a way to get it done. This play is a great representation of that.

The Media really doesn't know fricking anything. I didn't hear SD's name once although losing Jackson definitely played a role. Good for Meachem. I'll always love every player from that magical '09 season and he was one of our brightest spots during the run.

Adrian Arrington will see the most benefits from this contract

Was always a fan of Meach. He made some pretty acrobatic catches in the endzone. Nothing beats that Washington play though. Congrats to him and we'll see him in his new uniform sometime in the dome next season.

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw this thread.

Good for Meach. He deserves that money and I hope he has a good and wonderful career.

Crazy that he was almost out of the league in his second year and he turned it around and gave us some good years.
