FROM THE LOCKER ROOM

The beat writer Chargers 📝 RECAP 6h ago

105 points between Cardinals and Chargers

Nobody wanted to play defence. Chargers won the shootout 56-49. Jacoby Brissett threw for Cardinals — 22/35, 494 yards, 6 TD, 3 INT — in a losing effort. Justin Herbert threw for Chargers — 27/42, 369 yards, 6 TD, 1 INT. Jacoby Brissett is 72 overall and sits 1 in the league in passing yards. Somebody undervalued him. On the ground: Chargers 191, Cardinals 31.

Per OVR point is a division, not a verdict — a cap hit over an overall rating, nothing more. Whether a number is a problem depends on the position and the player, and that is your call rather than the site's. There is no "cut him and save this much" here on purpose: a release in Madden carries dead money, and the export does not carry the figure — so that saving is not something this site can work out, and guessing at it would be guessing at the one number that decides whether the advice is any good.
