Just a day after players returned to The Bolt for locker clean out day, the Chargers announced a list of 14 players they are signing to reserve/future contracts.
The most notable names on the list are receiver Dalevon Campbell, tight end Tanner McLachlan, and running back Amar Johnson.
The other 10 players include longsnapper Peter Bowden, defensive lineman TeRah Edwards, wideouts Luke Grimm and JaQuae Jackson, linebacker Emany Johnson, center Josh Kaltenberger, edge rusher Gardmon Randolph, 2025 sixth-round pick Branson Taylor, cornerback Isas Waxter, quarterback DJ Uiagaleilei, and tight end Thomas Yassmin.
Campbell showed out enough during the 2025 preseason...

The Chargers wasted little time in making their first coaching change following the loss to the Patriots. Per the team, offensive coordinator Greg Roman and offensive line coach Mike Devlin are both being relieved of duties just two days after the offense scored three points in their second consecutive loss in the postseason.
However, it will not be a complete gutting of the offensive line as the Chargers will retain former long-time center and assistant offensive line coach Nick Hardwick.
In a season where just about every player who earned snaps along the front line failed to meet expectations, the...

The Los Angeles Chargers are making a change to their coaching staff following their elimination in the playoffs at the hands of the New England Patriots.
According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapaport, the Chargers are firing offensive coordinator Greg Roman after two years with the team. The news comes after the team scored just three points in their loss against the Patriots in the wild card round.
Before Roman was with the Chargers, he spent five years with the Baltimore Ravens and was ultimately promoted to their offensive coordinator position.
Rappaport’s colleague at NFL Network, Tom Pelissero, is reporting...

Chargers fans at one point probably thought that the 2024 season would be the only year with Jesse Minter as defensive coordinator after he led the Bolts to the league’s top scoring defense. However, wound up sticking with Los Angeles for one more season, but it looks like that may end up being all she wrote with him calling the Chargers defense.
Following the team’s 16-3 loss to the Patriots in the wild card round, the interest in Minter has only ramped up given that now he can take part in virtual interviews. Per NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Minter has...

Just like last year’s playoff performance, Justin Herbert will now have yet another outing he would like to forget.
The Chargers earned a passing team grade of 27.5 against the Patriots, the worst mark of the season and somehow worse than Trey Lance’s performance against the Broncos surrounded by backups. But along with Herbert, it was a day to forget for just about everyone in and around the Chargers organization.
Jim Harbaugh’s effect on the team is apparent. They won 11 games for the second consecutive season. That can’t be understated, but that doesn’t mean we gloss over what, and...

Good morning, Chargers fans!
I truly don’t have the words after last night’s loss to the Patriots. An elite performance by the defense was completely overshadowed by a worst-case scenario for Justin Herbert and the offense. I’ve spent so much time on social media since the game end that I simply feel that anything else I have to say is redundant at this point.
One half of this football team was egregiously and inexcusably bad in the most important game of the season. So underwhelming and unprepared that anything less than some major changes would be yet another gigantic slap...

It’s do or die time.
The Chargers and the Patriots are set to kickoff in chilly Foxborough tonight in a wildcard matchup between two very similar quarterbacks. Both Justin Herbert and Drake Maye have been spectacular this season with each exceeding expectations given their circumstances.
Herbert has single-handedly willed his team into the postseason despite missing both of his elite offensive tackles and Maye has been the pivotal presence in the Patriots’ hasty turnaround under first-year coach Mike Vrabel. Both have been their team’s unquestioned MVPs this year and now they’ll each get a chance to add a huge new...

The Los Angeles Chargers are getting ready for their Wild Card matchup against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
The Chargers had rookie running back Omarion Hampton listed as questionable on the injury report with an ankle injury, but he is good to go for Los Angeles.
Cornerback Isas Waxter, defensive back Kendall Williamson, outside linebacker Bud Dupree, outside linebacker Kyle Kennard, offensive tackle Austin Deculus, wide receiver Dalevon Campbell and tight end Tyler Conklin are the inactives for the Chargers.
Meanwhile, wide receiver Jeremiah Webb, tight end CJ Dippre, offensive tackle Marcus Bryant, offensive lineman Caedan Wallace, defensive...

Welcome to game day, everyone!
The Chargers are in Foxborough tonight to face the No. 2 seed Patriots on the road. It’s the Bolts’ second consecutive playoff appearance under Jim Harbaugh and it’s another opportunity for likes of Justin Herbert and Khalil Mack to record their first career postseason victories. It’s going to be nothing short of a tall task, but that’s what they play the game for. They want to experience these big moments and be the ones who fought harder and longer to leave the field victorious.
If you’re anxious and itching to get this game underway, you’re...
