I think this whole thing will just make the Chargers force Manning's hand and pick him; it's a hell of a situation, especially for a guy making his first draft pick as a GM.

Seriously,
i don't think they want to play hardball. Eli can hold out, spend the year working out, and re-enter the draft a year from now. It's not like he needs the money, ya know? In that situation, the chargers have just pissed a draft pick down their leg.
And i agree it's a tough situation, but if i'm the GM i'm like, ok, do i draft a kid and bring him in(or not) who doesn't want to be here, and cause animosity on the team and in the community, or do i trade it and get the most that i can and hopefully help the team and get a good person for SD in here.
If i'm in the guy's shoes, i'm like, fine kid, we don't need you, and i hope we meet the team who drafts you on the field and spank the crap out of them.
