Three Players Request Release from Chargers

The players are FB Lorenzo Neal, FS Marlon McCree, and RT Shane Olivea. They all felt that next season they would be having diminished roles in the offense and thus wanted to get jobs elsewhere. McCree was set to be replaced by FS Eric Weddle (drafted last season) and Olivea lost his starting job this season to Jeromy Clary. Even Neal, a four time Pro Bowl selection, was set to be replaced by FB Andrew Pinnock. All of these players can contribute to a team, and I especially think Olivea has some upside. 

I think my favorite part of this story is how the Chargers are just constantly able to turn up talent at Offensive Tackle. It's pretty spectacular.
