Chargers' New Guard Finds Familiar Ground
9 Jun
Summary
- Cole Strange joined the Chargers in March, bringing scheme familiarity.
- He previously played under Mike McDaniel with the Miami Dolphins.
- Strange signed a two-year, $13 million contract with the Chargers.
Cole Strange, who joined the Los Angeles Chargers in March, has found a unique comfort in his new team due to his familiarity with offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's system. Strange previously played for McDaniel during his tenure as head coach of the Miami Dolphins last season. This prior experience made the Chargers an attractive destination for Strange in free agency.
Strange emphasized that consistency within an offensive scheme is highly beneficial, especially with McDaniel's distinctive approach. He believes the offense aligns well with his personal strengths, particularly his athleticism over sheer size, and noted similarities to his college play. Strange signed a two-year contract valued at $13 million with the Chargers, anticipating a smoother transition and quicker development due to his existing knowledge of the scheme.
The Chargers, with Strange now on board, are set to commence their preseason games on August 13. Their first exhibition match will be an away game against the Houston Texans.
