The Chargers won't be giving Eric Weddle what he wants before the 2015 season.

So, according to multiple reports, the star safety will return to his team after the Bolts drew a "line in the sand" with contract negotiations.

.@JasonPhilCole says "Weddle will return to the team, and will not continue his holdout because the Chargers have drawn a line in the sand."

San Diego's stance is not uncommon amongst NFL teams. However, their choice could have a ripple effect that impacts the on-field product.

It'd be a huge loss if Weddle refused to play special teams. The star defender has been responsible for some huge special teams plays since Mike McCoy arrived three seasons ago -- including this gutsy call that sealed a Bolts' playoff spot.
