The Los Angeles Chargers must upgrade at wide receiver this offseason. One name that has been linked to the team wouldn't even have to move out of Los Angeles.
Who’s under contract for next season, who’s a pending free agent, salary cap issues and tough personnel decisions after allowing a league-low 17.7 ppg
With J.K. Dobbins a free agent, the Chargers losing Gus Edwards doesn't appear to be in play, despite what some suggest.
Green would inject some youth into the Chargers’ edge room and is the only edge defender in college football over the past two years who earned 90.0-plus PFF grades as a pass-rusher and a run defender.
Fortunately, ESPN's Mel Kiper foresees the Chargers getting some help at that spot in the 2025 NFL draft. According to Kiper, the Chargers are projected to select Michigan Wolverines tight end Colston Loveland with the No. 22 pick in the draft this April. Here's what Kiper had to say about the pick:
The Los Angeles Chargers, in a rebuilding year, were able to finish as a playoff team, which really surprised many people. The Chargers had one of the best defenses in the league and surprised a lot of people on offense despite not having the best weapons for quarterback Justin Herbert.
The Chargers will be big spenders in free agency. They’re projected to have $63 million in cap space, and if they make some cuts, they could have more. Pro Football Focus sees Los Angeles using a good chunk of that money to sign wide receiver Tee Higgins, the No. 1 overall free agent this offseason.
The Los Angeles Chargers have a bunch of players set to hit free agency this offseason. Here are four players they need to bring back.
The Los Angeles Chargers are off to a hot start under head coach Jim Harbaugh. Harbaugh's first NFL Draft selection has been a home run selection.
Tucker Fisk saw his role expand in the back half of the season, as he thrived mainly as a blocker, finishing in the top 15 in both PFF's pass and run blocking grades among tight ends with at least 100 blocking snaps. But arguably the biggest boost the Chargers saw from the group came from Stone Smartt, who came on strong late in the season.
After building around the margins last offseason, the Chargers are positioned to make a splash in Jim Harbaugh's second season.
The big bright spot at wide receiver is Ladd McConkey, who was superb as a rookie. Quentin Johnston still has his limitations but he will be relied upon again next year. The challenge for the front office will be to find No. 3 and No. 4 options who could eventually pass Johnston on the depth chart.
