Chargers Make Roster Moves After Trade Deadline

The Los Angeles Chargers did not make any trades at the NFL deadline, despite being linked to players like Mike Williams and K.J. Osborn, which disappointed some fans. Financial constraints, with only about $6.9 million in cap space, likely influenced their decision not to make moves, although they are projected to have $76 million next offseason. Following the trade deadline, the Chargers released tight end Eric Tomlinson, indicating potential roster changes ahead. Although the team is currently 5-3 and in playoff contention, the lack of trades stands in contrast to other AFC teams that bolstered their rosters. The Chargers are still looking to strengthen their defense and offensive depth, particularly at cornerback and wide receiver, as they advance through the season. Head coach Jim Harbaugh's strategy appears focused on long-term adjustments rather than immediate acquisitions.
