Kavell Connor goes to Chargers

[lollygagger8]

Well that sucks. Connor was a great depth at LB for us. I don't know why the FO didn't let him play more.

 

I wish Tom Telesco would go cherry pick some other team.

While not making any big splashes in free agency like other teams, the San Diego Chargerscontinue to fortify the depth on the team’s roster. Pending the player passing a physical, the Chargers have agreed in principle to a three-year deal with Indianapolis Colts free agent middle linebacker Kavell Conner. 

Conner, 27, totaled a career-high 104 tackles in 15 starts with Indianapolis in 2011. Conner started 36 games in four seasons for the Colts, collecting 236 tackles, seven pass breakups and a sack. 

GM Tom Telesco worked in the Colts' personnel department when the team drafted Conner out of Clemson in the seventh round in 2010. 

At 6-foot and 240 pounds, Conner will compete for a roster spot as a reserve inside linebacker behind Donald Butler and <a data-ipb="nomediaparse" data-cke-saved-href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/15867/manti-te" href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/15867/manti-te" o"="">Manti Te'o . 

Along with Conner, the Chargers have signed running back Donald Brown and tight endDavid Johnson so far in free agenc. They also retained Butler, safety Darrell Stuckey and offensive lineman Chad Rinehart.

Wish him luck

GL to him. I don`t recall him ever having a GREAT game but he did make some plays.

One of MANY Colts who had the injury bug. Good depth otherwise.

I always thought he was a pretty decent player that seemed to live in the dog house.

Would have loved to retain him, Connor was a thumper.

So the Chargers are getting old Colts, the colts are getting former Browns players....this is sad.

They are actually getting two generations of former Browns players by poaching Ravens too...

telesco knows the colt talent. i always liked connor, and would rather have brown and a 1st round pick than richardson.
