'85 Chronology-'Bolts Pursue Cade

Event Date: August 5th, 1985

Event Description: Cade Mulling Offer

Memphis Showboats cornerback Mossy Cade was reportedly mulling over a contract offer from the San Diego Chargers Monday.

Cade was San Diego's top pick in last year's draft but was unhappy with the contract the Chargers offered and opted for the USFL Showboats.

If signed, Cade would become the third player to defect from the USFL to the Chargers. Wide receiver Trumaine Johnson and running back Tim Spencer have already signed and reported to camp. Johnson and Spencer were also drafted by the Chargers.

Assistant General Manager Tank Younger said Cade had indicated he wanted to play in San Diego.

'He has indicated he would like to join us, and now it is just a matter of getting together on the numbers,' Younger said.

Perry Deering, Cade's agent, confirmed the offer had been made, but declined comment.
