Official 2026 Chargers Roster Discussion | Roster Build | Free Agency

Yeah, I thought we'd get some rookie action during the week before the vets reported. Otherwise I wouldn't have started the thread last week.

its not your fault. I kinda feel like they let you down. I checked in every day and encouraged them to tell us what they did in the last day. nada.

Did the big kids do anything today? Somebody really should get out there and do something ...

I'm kinda annoyed at the dead silence regards actual, current Charger player activity since the rookies walked in. But I'll live. I think.
I suspect this is another Harbaugh control move. Hell, if anything it has built anticipation. I'm friggin ready, and then some.
Go Bolts!

I love it! Harbaugh is forming his circle with the team! New culture indeed!

I can see two of our final 53 coming from other team’s final cuts. RB and WR. Maybe even others depending on who gets cut. S, CB, IDL?

I think the roster will change several times after the cut to 53. However in the days between Aug 27 (cut to 53) and Sep 8 Raiders @ LAC I wonder about runnin' what we brung. Mess with team chemistry in Raider week? Maybe but I don't see several right away.

We are 5th in line for picking up FAs. I’d hate to lose that advantage. And we’re looking at picking up backups, not immediate starters.

Haglund doesn't have Tony Jefferson making the roster.

To parody College BBall, he’s in the last four in, first four out category.

How does that work? At 5 how many choices? Is it like the draft?
I was under the impression that we could talk to anyone after they are cut, take as many as we want. I didn't know we had to stand in line.

I can see RB, but we have a whole lot of WR's...I'd like to see if we can pick up a decent vet FS or CB from those cuts...

Waiver wire. If a player is waived, the Chargers are fifth line to claim him.

Thank you, It's coming to me now. When we cut guys to go to practice squad they have to pass through waivers. I didn't pay a lot of attention.

OK. How long after he is waived do we have to wait to see if the first four don't want him? I'd guess we can offer anyone that strikes our fancy but can't sign them 'till the other guys say go ahead, we don't want him.. So again, how long must we wait?
If we do want someone else's rejects? Isn't it further complicated by the requirement that he be signed to the active roster?

I don't see a lot of that happening. maybe one.
