SAN DIEGO -- With the signing of Orlando Franklin official, the San Diego Chargers released last season's starting left guard Chad Rinehart on Thursday.
Rinehart is the only player on offense who played every single snap in 2014 for the Chargers. However, Rinehart’s play was uneven, particularly in pass protection. Rinehart was scheduled to make $3.15 million in total compensation in 2015, and San Diego will now save the money in salary-cap space.
With Rinehart gone, Franklin is slated to start at left guard for the Chargers.
