Eric Weddle wants a new contract, but the Chargers don't appear ready to give him one.
Weddle told the San Diego Union-Tribune in April he felt "highly disrespected" that the team is unwilling to discuss an extension. General manager Tom Telesco has said the team will not negotiate with Weddle until after the 2015 season.

"He will play his final 16 games as a Charger as a free safety — nothing else," Weddle's agent, David Canter told the Union-Tribuneon Monday. "It’s blatantly obvious after me asking the team time and again to extend us that Eric isn’t wanted. So it’s time for Eric to move on (to) where he can win and is wanted."
The three-time Pro Bowl safety is entering the final year of a five-year, $40 million contract. San Diego's second-round pick in 2007, Weddle is entering his ninth NFL season. He has 19 career interceptions and has recorded more than 100 tackles in a season three times, including 114 last year.
"We've come to them numerous times and said we want to be part of the team, we want to retire as a Charger," Weddle said in April. "We've completely gotten pushed aside."
