Chargers Eye Reed and Osborn Before Deadline

As the NFL trade deadline approaches, the Los Angeles Chargers are exploring options to strengthen their team, particularly in the areas of wide receiver and defense. The team is considering acquiring cornerback D.J. Reed from the New York Jets to bolster their secondary, despite potential salary concerns, and wide receiver K.J. Osborn from the New England Patriots. The Chargers, under new general manager Joe Hortiz, are in a unique position with $77 million in free cap space next offseason, allowing them flexibility in trade negotiations. With a 4-3 record under head coach Jim Harbaugh, the Chargers are seeking to enhance their playoff chances by making strategic additions. However, the team has yet to make a decisive move, leaving fans anxious about the outcome before the deadline.
