## Resource

The Chargers are rewriting the playbook this offseason, hiring Mike McDaniel to unlock Justin Herbert’s full potential — and that means prioritizing explosive blocking tight ends like Charlie Kolar, who just signed a $24.3M deal. Once seen as overpaid for a role that’s mostly blocking, Kolar’s value is rising as the Chargers lean into a run-heavy, high-impact offense. Even in Baltimore, his presence boosted the run game — and now, with McDaniel’s scheme, he’s poised to be a game-changer. If Kolar delivers, he could redefine what blocking tight ends are worth across the league. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
