Chargers Discuss Potential Trade for Bears' Kmet, Harris Status Uncertain

Following the NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers have an increasingly crowded backfield after selecting Omarion Hampton in the first round, signing Najee Harris in free agency, and placing an unrestricted free agent tender on J.K. Dobbins, indicating exclusive negotiating rights should Dobbins remain unsigned by training camp. This situation has fueled speculation, particularly from Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox, that Harris could be traded, with possible destinations including the Dallas Cowboys or a reunion with the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, other analysts question the logic of trading Harris, given his recent signing and the availability of other free-agent running backs. Meanwhile, Dobbins, who rushed for over 900 yards last season, is still seen as likely to return to the Chargers, although some suggest the Chicago Bears or New Orleans Saints as alternate fits. Head coach Jim Harbaugh appears to value both Harris's veteran presence and Hampton's potential, making a trade less certain. The Chargers' running back situation remains fluid, but they seem well-positioned with multiple options as training camp approaches.
