Could A.J. Brown be the spark the Chargers need to supercharge their offense? Rumors are swirling about a potential blockbuster trade that could see him teaming up with Justin Herbert, potentially transforming Los Angeles' attack.
It was a surprise to see the Chargers fail to score a single touchdown against the Patriots, raising questions about where the team needs to improve as they look toward the next season.
The Chargers have already made a move to revitalize their offense by bringing in Mike McDaniel as the new offensive coordinator. But as any seasoned coach will tell you, it's often more about the players than the playbook.
The Bolts could be eyeing a major player addition this offseason. Tyler Sullivan from CBS Sports has highlighted the Chargers as a possible destination for Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown.
One of the key issues for the Chargers in 2025 was the loss of both tackles. With Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt expected to return healthy in 2026, Justin Herbert should have more time to work his magic.
He'll need another top-tier target, though. Ladd McConkey, while solid, didn't quite match his rookie year fireworks, and Keenan Allen, who turns 34 in April, led the team with 122 targets last season.
Adding a talent like Brown, with McDaniel orchestrating the offense, could be the boost Herbert and the team need to elevate their game.
Now, Brown alone won't solve all of the Chargers' challenges, nor will he guarantee that Justin Herbert shines in every big moment. However, his presence would certainly boost the Bolts' chances on the field.
It's tough to predict who will emerge as the "winner of the offseason," but if the Chargers manage to land a trade for Brown along with adding McDaniel, they'd be hard to overlook as one of the most improved teams post-2025.
Los Angeles is poised for a significant rebound if they can channel last year's setbacks into this year's offseason strategy. The Chargers are gearing up to make the necessary strides to reach new heights in 2026.
