Chargers Sign Becton Amidst Roster Challenges

The Los Angeles Chargers have made significant moves in free agency, signing guard Mekhi Becton to a two-year, $20 million deal, while also facing challenges with player departures such as Poona Ford to the Rams and Kristian Fulton to the Chiefs. They lost tight end Stone Smartt to the Jets but are addressing gaps by acquiring new defensive linemen and considering free agents like Evan Engram. The Chargers have approximately $37.4 million in cap space and need to bolster positions such as tight end and cornerback. The team is contemplating trades and waiting for potential player cuts to strengthen the roster further. Despite these changes, the Chargers' strategy remains focused on maintaining flexibility for future moves and draft opportunities.
