DB Kapena Gushiken made the Preseason Stock Watch in each of the first two weeks. He was No. 2 on our Waiver Wire Big Board. He got claimed by the Colts. https://t.co/JUWjw0o9DW https://t.co/Jcos2xxtPe 15.4K views · 55 likes · 7 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Waiver Wire Big Board! Spent the preseason studying film to identify risers and potential depth additions for teams. With cuts finalized, these are my rankings for the players I would be prioritizing on the waiver wire across all positions: https://t.co/PODJtSlXuH 77.9K views · 132 likes · 11 reposts · 9 replies Open on X →

I will still be covering the Chargers through most of training camp, so stay tuned for my final few weeks of written coverage. And we will be hiring a new Chargers writer. I will also continue to produce Hops With Pop, and I look forward to further building our community. 24.3K views · 736 likes · 12 reposts · 27 replies Open on X →

My time on the Chargers beat was a gift. I am so grateful to every person who read my work over the past seven years. I was brand new to SoCal when I moved here in 2019. It is now home. The fan base welcomed me without hesitation. You allowed me to learn and grow. Thank you. 36.2K views · 809 likes · 15 reposts · 8 replies Open on X →

After seven seasons on the Chargers beat, I am moving into a national NFL role at The Athletic. My focus will be on pro personnel, free agency, contracts and the salary cap. I am beyond excited for this next chapter and can’t wait to get started! 625.1K views · 4.4K likes · 159 reposts · 591 replies Open on X →
