Official 2026 Chargers Roster Discussion | Roster Build | Free Agency

[La Costa Boy]

Good GAWD what is Linderbaum going to get? 4/90? More like 4/95 or even 4/100. Our 3/30 is an incredible bargain. Take the 10 mil or so we saved and you can pick up Oweh (plus his OG cash), or a couple of good guards or a guard and maybe a guy like Cameron Jordan on the cheap side? Oh the possibilities!

In Joe I trust because right now he is looking like the smartest GM in the NFL.

It's nice they took care of the center position early so now they can focus on other needs and not have a bidding war hanging over their head for their biggest need.

In regard to Vera Tucker, I wouldn't sign him as penciled in starting OF. I would try and find 2 OGs in free agency and let hi compete on a 1-year prove it deal. I might add him to my sig. I think the Chargers are going to have to add a big name free agent to eat up some of their cap because they have to spend a certain amount. Don't know if they can do that with just adding 1-2 yr deals which is why Hendrickson or AJ kinda makes sense in a way. I'll entertain other players as well. I just don't see Zion and Oweh coming back this year which is why I took them off my sig.

I hear you on Vera Tucker. Some liked my idea of signing him... some didn't. Your idea is good. I just like the idea of having him in the mix, Doesnt have to be penciled in starter

[Fouts2herbert]

agree!...and a lot of teams need centers this offseason!...there were at least 2 retirements also

Kelley and Dalman retired one year after being the guys everyone wanted in free agency last year...

[Boltnut]

Yo Boltnut!

Yeah, I saw that. No worries... Biadasz seems like a good signing (as long as he stays healthy).
I'd still like to see them get a free agent OG... doesn't have to be David Edwards for me.

I suggested McGovern/Edwards because they had played together and had chemistry.
I also suggested McGovern/Edwards because I thought their cap issues wouldn't allow them to sign either.
There are some other players I'd like to poach from the Bills... I'm picking on teams that have been stupid with their caps.
I've been doing that since the days of Corey Linsley.

Have a feeling Joe Hortiz will be doing the same type of free agency shopping he did when he added players like Hand, Tart, Jackson, Dye, Dupree.

OL might be these players for LG/RG and swing OT.
Strange, Rhyan, Jenkins, Borom, Teller, Penning.

That might be all well and good - but what is he going to do with the remaining $30-40m of cap space. If he can improve the roster with a bunch of Biadasz type value signings, more power to him. But he has a boatload of m oney to spend - he doesn't need to be bargain basesment shopping every player. He can splurge on a couple

Mack is back - per Schefter
ESPN sources: Nine-time Pro-Bowl edge Khalil Mack reached agreement today with the Chargers on a one-year deal, and he now will be returning to Los Angeles for his 13th NFL season. Mack would have been a free agent this week, but no longer.

One year 18m -- thats his number

I am good with it

He may be looking at Derwin and Tuli. Giving them new deals.
Possibly pushing quite a bit of those deals into this year salary. He may decide he wants Oweh on the team and puts a chunk into him as well. I think he has options into how he spends that money. Whatever he does, most of his moves have worked out pretty well with ROI.

Have extra money? Sign Oweh. One less position of need in FA and the draft.
