Los Angeles Chargers
Boston College’s Donovan Ezeiruaku was second in the nation with 16.5 sacks in 2024.
The more signings the Chargers have made this offseason, the more it looks like Joe Hortiz and Jim Harbaugh are attempting to set themselves up to take best player available in the first round of this year’s draft.
If that ends up being the case, I actually believe edge rusher becomes much more likely to happen at the No. 22 pick. It’s a premium position, the Chargers need to get younger there quickly knowing Khalil Mack and Bud Dupree are likely gone in 2026, and there’s...

The Chargers could be looking to find a cheaper swing tackle as they met with BYU offensive tackle Caleb Etienne at the BYU pro day.
Last week, the Chargers were busy making the rounds at various pro days across the country.
According to Justin Melo of The Draft Network, the Chargers were one of a handful of teams who took the time to meet personally with BYU offensive tackle Caleb Etienne during his program’s pro day on March 19. Other teams that reportedly met with Etienne were the Dolphins, Raiders, and 49ers.
At nearly 6’8 and almost 330 pounds, Etienne...

Tony Jefferson chipped in 27 tackles and 1 tackle for loss in four starts for the Chargers after coming out of retirement.
The Chargers are officially running it back with their core group of safeties after the team announced the re-signing of veteran Tony Jefferson to a one-year deal. The former Cardinals and Ravens safety came out of retirement prior to the 2024 season and ended up playing some of his best ball towards the end of the season in place of the injured Elijah Molden.
Jefferson ended the 2024 campaign with 27 total tackles and one tackle for loss...

Good morning, Chargers fans!
The Chargers signed tight end Tyler Conklin and re-signed safety Tony Jefferson over the weekend which helped solidify a weak position group (tight end) and brought back the final piece of last year’s top-notch safety group.
I love both moves and I’m sure you all did, too.
And now for today’s links.

After a year away in New York Mike Williams returns home to be one of the primary pass catchers for the Bolts
It wasn’t a very long vacation in the Big Apple for Mike Williams as he returns to the Los Angeles Chargers after just one year with the New York Jets (and the Pittsburgh Steelers). The Bolts had a big need at wide receiver heading into the offseason and Williams is certainly going to help fill in some of the void, though the position still needs to be addressed in the draft later on.
Williams is of course a...

The Chargers are adding TE Tyler Conklin to pair with 2024 starter Will Dissly.
The Chargers are signing former Vikings and Jets tight end Tyler Conklin to a one-year deal. The news was first broke by his agent Mike McCartney.

Tyler Conklin has spent the last 3 seasons with the Jets, totaling 1,622 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns.
On Thursday evening, NFL insider Mike Garafolo reported that the Chargers are hosting former Vikings and Jets tight end Tyler Conklin. The former fifth-round pick out of Central Michigan has been the starter in New York for the past three seasons, totaling 1,622 receiving yards and seven touchdown since signing with the team in 2022.
Originally drafted by the Vikings, Conklin was seldomly-used during his three seasons in Minnesota as he recorded just 43 receptions for 329 yards and a single touchdown....

Both Tyler Lockett and Calais Campbell would provide veteran mentorship in two young position groups for the Chargers.
The Chargers are hard at work trying to put the finishing touches on their team to set them up for the best draft possible next month. They have 10 picks in all which is plenty of ammo to make moves throughout that weekend and/or potentially make a trade for someone currently on another roster.
If the Chargers are still looking to add available free agents, there are currently two on the market I think would be low-cost additions that would do nothing...

The Chargers have failed to gain much ground in the AFC following the first wave of free agency.
The Chargers entered this year’s free agency period with one of the largest pools of available cap space in the NFL. That set the potential scene for them to spend, spend, spend in hopes of maximizing their win-now window with quarterback Justin Herbert. However, none of the Chargers’ contracts — whose formal 2025 cap hits we know of thus far — have been confirmed over $6 million.
We currently are still waiting on Mekhi Becton, Andre James, Teair Tart, Naquan Jones, Taylor...
