The Official 2026 Chargers Season Discussion - (0-2)

I like that the Najee deal is a one year deal, that tells me we might see Hampton get drafted in round one by the Chargers...

[CanadianBoltFan]

Dobbins has the durability concern

He does yes...but I would have covered that in the draft with many power backs to choose from. When it is labeled possibly the deepest RB draft ever, you take advantage of that over paying the most to an RB in free agency no? This is not Saquan Barkley or anything close.

If Will Fries hasn't signed with anybody yet, he might be a good OG to look at next? As long as he's healthy. but maybe it would be best to just draft an OG in the first 3 round? Maybe Tate Ratledge.

I am not seeing it. They will draft a blocker

[rensoul]

pretty certain that the Dobbins replacement is gonna come from the draft, and.... guessin' they double down @RB and get a bruiser that will spell Najee come the '026 ??

I think they draft a shiftier and faster back and keep Haskins around as a backup to Najee.

“It’s a really bad group overall,” one AFC exec says of this year’s free-agent class.

This is what we want Hortiz to overpay for?

there are quite a few big backs in this stanza, and hence will be a bit surprised if Haskins is still around to start the season.... ??

[Whydachargers?]

What do you guys think about the following two defensive players...

DT - Levi Onwuzurike (Detroit)

Edge - Za' Darius Smith (Detroit)

[CanadianBoltFan]

You're the one focusing on his yards! What I list is facts. Natrone Mean has a career ave. of 3.7 YPC do you think he sucks too?

Different era. Not comparable

[Charge!]

seems a bit steep, and.... first rounder, and prolly still has some gas in the tank.... let's see if he can surpass the Gus output,

ps. Edwards averaged 3.6 YPC and 365 yards total.... (my money is on Najee)

Agree.... good solid signing.....

This free agency just confirms to me that Hortiz is not going to shell out the dough for another team's free agent. He won't get into a bidding war and overpay free agents that are not home grown. They are going to slowly let go of the TT hold overs and add their own guys through the draft. They will keep doing these 1–2-year deals till they get their guys in place.

Hopefully they will get Slater done soon. I know they have in talks for about a week now. At least that is what was reported.

[Critty]

I am guessing it will be 9-10 million a year

Good guess.
