The Los Angeles Chargers' offseason strategy has been a bit of a head-scratcher. Despite having cap space, the team seems hesitant to dive into the free-agent market. With Justin Herbert taking 54 sacks last season-ranking third most in the league-and working with just average offensive weapons, you'd expect the Chargers to be more aggressive in their approach.
Sure, they've added some solid players like Tyler Biadasz and Charlie Kolar, but it feels like there's still a lot left on the table for the Chargers to truly elevate their game.
NFL.com's Jeffri Chadiha raises an important question: Are the Chargers doing enough to ease the burden on Herbert? The young quarterback deserves a ton of credit for enduring the hits while leading the team to the playoffs for the second straight year.
In a fiercely competitive AFC West, the Chargers can't afford to regress. More moves are needed to ensure Herbert's protection and effectiveness come fall.
Will the Chargers make a splash in free agency? Fans certainly hope so. There's still time to bolster the roster around Herbert, and the cap space is there to make it happen.
The real question is whether the Chargers are willing to take that leap. Relying solely on internal development and the returns of Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt might not be enough to position the Chargers as serious contenders in 2026. It's a gamble, and one that leaves many feeling skeptical.
