Chargers land brother of 2025 UDFA in early 2026 mock draft

Chargers land brother of 2025 UDFA in early 2026 mock draft

The older brother of Oregon star Matayo Uiagalelei is currently a UDFA with the Chargers.

Could the Chargers reunite a pair of brothers a year from now?

In a way-too-early 2026 NFL mock draft, Sports Illustrated’s Richie Bradshaw believes the Bolts will end up grabbing one of the class’ top edge rushers, and he also happens to have a brother who just signed with the Chargers as part of their 2025 UDFA class.

With the 19th pick (meaning the Bolts are believed to be a playoff team next season), Bradshaw has the Chargers selecting Oregon pass rusher Matayo Uiagalelei, the...

Predicting the Chargers 2025 record: Can Bolts gain ground on again Chiefs?

The Chargers will have a much tougher schedule in 2025. Does that mean they could fall short of expectations?

The Chargers go from having one of the easiest schedules during the 2024 campaign to having one of the tougher slates in the league this upcoming campaign. They’re the only team in the league to begin the year with three consecutive divisional matchups and have one of the more difficult finishes to the season, facing four playoff games — as well as their other three AFC West matchups — within their final six games.

There is still plenty of time until...

Chargers Schedule Analysis: No cakewalks for Bolts in Year 2 of Jim Harbaugh

The Chargers go from one of the easiest schedules in the NFL to one of the hardest in 2025.

The Chargers, along with the rest of the NFL, announced their 2025 regular season schedule on Wednesday night.

Here are my thoughts on the slate:

Three consecutive AFC West opponents to begin the season? Woof

The Chargers have absolutely zero time to get comfortable in the regular before they get hit with a slew of high-stakes games as they begin the year with three consecutive games against AFC West opponents.

First, the team travels to Brazil to “host” the Chiefs...

Chargers Preseason Schedule: Bolts to face former HC, OC vs. Saints

The Chargers will join the Lions as one of two teams who will play four preseason games this year.

Earlier this spring, it was announced that the Chargers and the Lions would play each other in the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio. The exhibition marks the start of the preseason which will take place on July 31 at 6:00 p.m. PT.

Due to the Chargers’ selection for the game, they and the Lions will be the only two teams in the NFL who will play four preseason games this year.

Along with the team’s full...

Chargers sign LB Kana’i Mauga

On Tuesday afternoon, the Chargers announced their second signing following their rookie mini camp over the weekend. Per the team, the Bolts are adding former Raiders linebacker Kana’i Mauga to the roster. In a corresponding move, the team is waiving 2024 undrafted free agent linebacker Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste.

The 6’2, 245-pound has been a contributor for the Las Vegas Raiders over the past two seasons (2023-2024), seeing time in 17 games and recording six total tackles over that span. He also played a key role on special teams, mainly on kick coverages.

Mauga entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent...

When all is said in done after the end of the 2025 regular season, the Chargers will have traveled the most miles of any team in the league.

Without knowing when the Chargers will play each weekend, we do already know where. The same goes for every other team, of course, so the NFL went ahead and racked up the miles that each of the 32 teams will travel over the upcoming regular season.

When it was all said and done, the Bolts were the lone team at the top, predicted to travel 37,086 miles over the course of its...
