Less than 24 hours after the Chargers parted ways with Jerry Tillery, coach Brandon Staley addressed the factors that contributed to the veteran defensive lineman’s sudden release.
The Chargers waived Tillery, a 2019 first-round pick, on Thursday night, a move general manager Tom Telesco said was “not an easy decision” in a statement announcing the news. It was also reported that L.A. decided to move on from the 26-year-old after failing to find a trade partner by the Nov. 1 deadline.
When asked Friday what changed in the weeks since, Staley shared with reporters that the team’s relationship with Tillery had reached a point of no return.
