Chargers' King Dunlap: Arrested Thursday night

Dunlap was arrested in Nashville on Thursday night and charged with violating an order of protection, WKRN Nashville reports.

Analysis:

Dunlap's girlfriend allegedly asked him if he wanted to gather some clothes from her residence before he left for San Diego to train this offseason, and after Dunlap arrived to do so, he violated terms of a protective order that meant the two couldn't come in contact. According to a statement released by Dunlap's attorney after his client was bailed out of jail, the incident was a misunderstanding of that order, and a favorable resolution is expected to be reached. A Nashville native, Dunlap is slated to earn $5.75 million during the 2017 season, which is a figure the Chargers are anticipated to try and restructure this offseason, or free from their books by releasing Dunlap altogether, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
