So what you’re saying is that he can replace Cook seamlessly when the time comes

So far the only other update is that he is in stable condition which, while better than the alternative, isn’t all that telling/comforting. The fact that they haven’t described him as awake and aware, or said he has feeling/movement in extremities, etc is very worrisome IMO.

My first thought, too. Stable is not a good designation. Cognizant, awake, any of those are better than stable. Saying a prayer for Parham.

Yea if he’s not yet awake and aware, they wouldn’t say so. Very general statement. Hopefully today we get some better definitive news.
Brian Sutteter, MD with a good description of the "fencing" response that occurred with Parham. It's part of a primitive reflex to protect the brain during a fall that develops in the womb. The shaking was also due to the concussion not cold and could reflect many different issues.

Good to see the doctor have the same response to Buck's idiotic comments as the rest of us all did. Sometimes better to say nothing at all. This was that case.
T&Ps to Donald.

Hopefully "Just a concussion" ends up being OK. That did look pretty bad. The Joe Buck comments were super cringeworthy. Shaking cause it's cold? Come on man. Just shut up.
It looked a bit like maybe a spinal injury was in the cards, glad that's seemingly off the table.

Great news! Go get this cat in the offseason (or now if your rules allow it). Price should be reasonable & he could be a monster.
6'8" receivers with good athletic ability don't grow on trees & Herbert is just icing on the cake.

Parham has also made real strides with his blocking so that's unlikely to keep him off the field. He's got a pretty good chance to be a long-term/high-snap TE for the Chargers.
Parham definitely has the strong price-to-production potential ratio I look for.

Here's hoping they don't bring in a big signing here.
The Chargers GM isn't convinced he's the guy.
I love his potential and in a league where a top athlete TE gets a team wins...it's a bit surprising he didn't sign Parham to like one mil per or something that would at least make both sides happy.
A minimum erfa udfa tender won't count against the cap as it's not top 51.
The other angle is they dance again next year now as an RFA. He's quite unlikely to sign his tender then but instead see what team matches and (if then) play there.
BUT maybe the GM just wanted him locked up and they'll work out a deal in the coming months.
I hope The Rock is watching. Along with the minor league agreement, the XFL players have to go in as pro players and not UDFAs. USFL players had full rights back in the day and Parham would be a UFA right now. There has to be some vibe that they can attain big bucks and not be slapped with this minimum erfa tender.

(RotoWire) Parham has officially signed his exclusive rights free agent tender with the Chargers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: As a result, Parham is set to return to the team for at least the 2022 season after agreeing to sign the contract tender extended to him in March. Looking ahead, the tight end -- who saw his receptions double from 10 in 2020 to 20 in 2021 -- will jostle for depth chart slotting behind former Seahawk Gerald Everett, who Los Angeles signed in April. Also currently in the mix at the position are Tre' McKitty and Hunter Kampmoyer.

The Athletic's Daniel Popper writes Donald Parham is having a "great camp, and it is clear he will be a prominent piece in the Chargers' downfield passing attack."
Parham missed the final three games of last season after a brutal concussion, but he re-upped with the Chargers as an exclusive rights free agent. The Bolts said goodbye to Jared Cook but did sign Gerald Everett as a replacement with 2021 third-rounder Tre' McKitty also in the mix, but Parham has been a favorite of Justin Herbert's in the red zone. That connection has picked back up at camp this summer. McKitty has already been missing practice time. Parham's 6-foot-8 frame makes him a total mismatch for defenders, especially in the red zone. He's a worthwhile fantasy flier at the back end of drafts.SOURCE: The Athletic

Dynasty I think he’s a hold in larger leagues. Everett is 28, and the kid has talent.
That said, if you’re in a shorter bench league he’s probably a drop.

I'm in a super deep league. People aren't holding him

You know what to do with him, Zed, you know.

I’m in 3 leagues with 30, 1 with 28 and 1 with 25 and I don’t think he’s on a roster. I do think he’s intriguing for sure - it’s just would have been a long time to hold for who knows what ceiling?
ETA: this is not correct. As stated later.

That seems crazy to me. I'm grabbing him in (the last round of) some redraft leagues. He's the best receiver in the Chargers' tight end room, and his blocking has improved enough that I think he'll get on the field a fair amount. Everett is the favorite to be the Chargers' primary pass-catching tight end in 2022, but not an overwhelming, prohibitive favorite. Parham has a chance to take on that role by the end of this season, IMO.

Maybe I’ll pick him up. Thanks.

Actually I was wrong so sorry to the thread but he's only available in the 25 man league.

Are they saying BOTH Everett and Parham will be successful? Hard to believe there will be two productive TEs along with KA, Williams and Palmer who's been raved about too.

Agree completely. I was very confused by the tweet talking about Everett being used in a bigger role then drop prediction about Parham breaking out.
None is talking about it but it looks like he sustained another head injury last night.
He caught a pass and went down and reached for his head before going to the sideline and taking off his helmet. People were going up to him and asking if he was ok and you can see him saying he's fine but I don't recall seeing him in the game after that.

I noticed the same thing. He was quickly becoming a priority add for me but now I'm looking in other directions at the position for now. That concussion he sustained was nasty last year and he obviously came down hard enough for it to bother him last night. I hope he's OK just from a human standpoint.

Rough. I didn't see that.
