Osgood agrees to four-year deal
There are a ton of rumors floating around in the off season, and local fan favorite wide receiver Kassim Osgood was one of them. It was rumored that he would not return to the Chargers but with today’s announcement the rumors have been squashed. Osgood who has been on injured reserve since Dec. 4 with a torn pectoral muscle, was named the Special Teams Player of the Year by his teammates.
Osgood agrees to four-year contractThe San Diego Chargers have agreed to terms with special teams standout Kassim Osgood on a new four-year contract. Osgood’s current contract was due to expire in March.
“Kassim is an outstanding special teams performer and a rising quality receiver,” said General Manager A.J. Smith. “He has championship work ethic and character. He’s the kind of player you need to win championships. We’re thrilled to have him with us the next four years.”
Last season Osgood was one of the AFC’s most dominant special teams players until he suffered a torn pectoral muscle on Dec. 4. At the time of his injury he was leading the team in special teams tackles with 19. Despite missing the final four games, Osgood finished the season ranked second on the team behind Hanik Milligan’s 21 tackles. Milligan was voted to the AFC Pro Bowl squad as the conference’s top special teams performer. Osgood also caught two passes during the season.

Hallelujah!! Give me a team of Kassims. I just hope he can crack the starting line-up early on and have a great year. By the way, Hanik sould take Kassim with him to Hawaii.
On 3, 1-2-3-Chargers!!

Good, we kept Kassim Ozgood, I hope he can take it to the next level. How about we bring Az-Zahir Hakiem back to his home town for 06? I think he could be a solid addition with the mix of WR'S we have?
