Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers finished second in the AFC West in 2024, but an NFL.com analyst believes it’s the Broncos who will win the divisional crown this year over the Chiefs.
Like both the Raiders and the Broncos, the Chargers have spent the offseason making proactive and calculated moves to gain some form of ground and attempt to put an end to the Chiefs and their stranglehold on the division.
I don’t think it’s crazy to say that every team behind the Chiefs got better in some way, shape, or form in the past four months, but it remains to be seen...

Good morning, Chargers fans!
We’ve reached another Friday and the end of another week. We can kick our feet up knowing that the Chargers will get back together in less than a month to commence training camp (July 16) and before we know it, the regular season will be here.
I absolutely cannot wait.
And now for today’s links.

The Chargers added a blue-chip running back prospect and a 4-time 1,000-yard rusher to their backfield but they still barely cracked the top half of NFL
The Chargers revamped their entire running back room last offseason, adding four new players that all played elsewhere the previous season. The group was headlined by former Ravens J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards and rounded out with rookie sixth-rounder Kimani Vidal and veteran Hassan Haskins.
Fast-forward one year later and the Chargers once again reshaped the top of their backfield by signing former Steelers back Najee Harris and drafting North Carolina standout Omarion Hampton....

The Chargers are signing former Marshall OL Elijah Ellis and releasing OT Tyler McLellan.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Chargers announced the signing of offensive lineman Elijah Ellis. In a corresponding move, the team is waiving offensive tackle and former 2024 undrafted free agent Tyler McLellan.
The 6’4, 336-pound Ellis played collegiate at two schools, starting at Baylor before transferring to Marshall for his final season in 2024. This past year for the Thundering Herd, Ellis started all 13 games at left tackle. In the three prior years with the Baylor Bears, Ellis played just nine games total.
The rookie will...

The Chargers are one of a handful of teams in 2025 who will unveil new alternate uniforms.
The Chargers just dropped a hype video for their brand new alternates uniforms that will be unveiled next month on July 15.
While the video does not actually show or tease what the new uniforms will look like, it’s still impossible not to feel the hype and excitement watching Justin Herbert and Daiyan Henley don their current uniforms which, of course, are still the best in the league (no bias here!).
The current Chargers kit includes powder blue and white tops that can...

What is the best-case scenario for the Chargers in 2025? Is it a Super Bowl? AFC Championship Game?
If you were to have shared your best- and worst-case scenarios for the Chargers a year ago, I think the consensus would have believed making the playoffs and/or finishing above .500 was on the high end of the spectrum and falling under .500 would be on the latter side.
The Chargers ended up pushing past those preconceived limits by the fan base to go and win 11 games en route to making the postseason. Now we know where that inevitably ended for...

The Chargers’ left tackle was at minicamp as a full participant after missing OTAs up to this point.
After missing all of the Chargers’ OTA sessions prior to this week, left tackle Rashawn Slater was not only in attendance for Tuesday’s start to mandatory minicamp, he was also a full participant throughout the entire day.
Slater sitting out OTAs for the first time in his career was unsurprising given that the former first-round pick is currently in the midst of negotiating a new contract. This will be the final year of Slater’s rookie deal as he’s expected to earn $19.2...
