The Chargers’ front office and coaching staff smiled when Illinois defensive lineman Corey Liuget remained available at No. 18 overall in April’s draft.

It’s time to go to work,” GM A.J. Smith said. The Chargers envision his 6-foot-2, 300-pound body lining up at defensive end and competing for starting position.

However, the combination of New York's asking price (a first-round pick) and Umenyiora's demand for a new contract has dissuaded all from making a deal thus far.
