Ryan has proven to be a solid player on the roster when he is on the field, but his availability hurt the team last season. He dealt with a number of injuries and couldn’t stay on the field. It has been the same issue that he has dealt with during his whole career. We could use his production at a consistent basis, but we never know if the next hit will keep him out for a few weeks.

Telesco will get a feel on what kind of deal he can get with Ryan. With his history of injuries, he might come at a cap friendly deal. Branden Oliver then could serve as a solid backup to Ryan and Danny Woodhead would also be back next season to help with the depth at the posititon.

If the Chargers were to re-sign Ryan Mathews this offseason, the team would not need to look at adding another back to the roster via the draft or free agency. Mathews would be a solid signing for the team, but he has the potential to blow up in our face with his next injury.

Would you want the Chargers to look at re-signing Ryan or would you want them to move on to another direction? If they can get him on a short inexpensive deal, then it seems like a temporary solution that can work out for the Chargers. I think he would be a nice player to have on the roster despite his history.
