The Chargers made an addition to their wide receiver group on Monday.

The team announced that they have signed Nelson Spruce to their 90-man roster. Spruce worked out for the team earlier in the day.

Spruce’s signing brings him back to Los Angeles, although not with the team he played for during his first stint in the city. Spruce signed with the Rams as an undrafted free agent in 2016 and spent time on the active roster without getting into any games. He was waived last September and spent time on the Bears practice squad and the Chiefs offseason roster before landing with the Chargers.

Spruce, who holds most University of Colorado receiving records of note, joins a group fronted by Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams, Mike Williams and Travis Benjamin. They also drafted Dylan Cantrell in the sixth round this year.

Still think he can play at this level as a possession receiver. There's worse out there on teams' rosters that's for sure.

So congrats to him, but now I officially dislike him and hope the Rams' DBs knock the bejeesus outta him when the teams meet in September.

I really liked Spruce, I wish him well, except when he plays us of course!

Long shot, but best of luck to him.

 

[I like Rams]

I hope he does really well over there, but the team does really bad.

 

[Force16X]

that drive against the cowboys in preseason was fun to watch though.

What do you get when you cross a bolt of lighting with an unstoppable force?


Spruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chargers lost 4 or 5 games by 3 points or less...I'd blame at least 3 of them directly on their kicker....

They have a good lil team at the moment....

and

they had a really good draft.

I loved that FS/SS Derwin James...he went 17th....I think....I thought, had we stayed at 21, we'd have a shot at him....Oh well...

Hey buddy , you're putting words in my mouth. What I meant was after 10 years the Rams finally had a couple good receivers.

Not sure on Anthony Lynn quite yet. He has two very strong coordinators in Gus Bradley & Ken Whisenhunt and the team rallied after losing some close games in the beginning, so Lynn deserves credit for that. Rams liked him enough, where he might have been part of McVay's staff if the Chargers did not hire him. Also I was shocked Buffalo allowed him out of Western, NY, but the Bills wanted to go in a totally different direction. So again I'm unsure, but to this point, Lynn has been impressive and is an easy guy to root for.

Likewise but it would be really cool to have an all LA Super Bowl.

Chargers were my second favorite team but the whole stadium sharing thing pisses me off. Better than the Raiduhs though. The LA Raiduh fans are a bunch of gangbangers.
