The Los Angeles Chargers have waived former Oklahoma State wide receiver Leon Johnson after a brief preseason stint where he had limited opportunities. Despite a strong college season where he recorded 33 catches for 539 yards, Johnson could not secure a permanent spot on the roster. The Chargers are also facing tough decisions on other players, such as running back Isaiah Spiller and tight end Donald Parham, as they finalize their 53-man roster. Additionally, Alec Pierce of the Colts is a potential trade candidate, with both the Chargers and Ravens showing interest in bolstering their receiving corps. In the broader context, the Chargers are undergoing significant roster changes under new management, moving away from the previous regime's strategies. As the preseason progresses, players like Tre' Tomlinson face the risk of being cut due to poor performance, highlighting the competitive nature of roster selections.
