Chargers Eye Trades Amid Roster Uncertainty

The Los Angeles Chargers have had a relatively quiet offseason, focusing on minor roster moves rather than major acquisitions, which has frustrated fans concerned about needs at wide receiver and edge rusher. ESPN's Seth Walder has floated a three-team trade proposal with the Bears and Buccaneers that would bring running back D'Andre Swift to the Chargers, though some question its necessity given the presence of Najee Harris, rookie Omarion Hampton, and Raheim Sanders. Trey Lance will start at quarterback in the 2025 Hall of Fame Game under new head coach Jim Harbaugh, giving him an important chance to revive his career. The Chargers are being urged to pursue edge rushers like Trey Hendrickson or Micah Parsons, both in contract disputes, to fill the void left by Joey Bosa's departure. Despite their conservative strategy to date, the team faces pressure to make bold moves to contend for a Super Bowl. Persistent injuries and unproven talent have left key positions uncertain as the preseason approaches.
