If Riley is fired, hire a disciplinarian because some of the players are bringing back the old complaint that the Chargers have a country club atmosphere. True or not, it's one of the problems of being on a losing team in one of the nation's best resort locations. Minds wander in the ocean breezes. Trade Ryan Leaf. Forget about the cap implications, trade Ryan Leaf and move on.
Management has two choices.
They can clean out the locker room and surround Leaf with new players. The Saints, for example, had the biggest turnover with 30 new players. It's a lot easier to make one change because the players who remain on the roster won't trust Leaf because of his past failings. Acquire Trent Green. Not only that, but possibly reunite Trent Green with Norv Turner if he's let go by the Redskins after the season.
