Chargers' trade-down plan lands extra Day 2 pick and targets Bisontis

Mock Draft 3.0 explores a trade with Arizona that sends the Chargers from No. 22 to No. 34, adds No. 65 and a 2027 fourth-round pick, and targets Chase Bisontis at 34 to upgrade left guard. With the extra third-round capital, Los Angeles then selects Mason Thomas (EDGE) at 55, Keith Abney (CB) at 65, Zachariah Branch (WR) at 86, Gracen Halton (DT) at 123, and Jager Burton (C) at 204, aiming to shore up the interior line, edge depth, and the secondary while fitting coach Mike McDaniel’s scheme.

Chargers pursue depth-first seven-round mock draft via savvy trade-down

LA Chargers’ seven-round mock draft centers on a trade-down strategy to add draft capital after a measured free-agency period. The plan starts with an EDGE in Round 1 (T.J. Parker), then moves to guard depth with Keylan Rutledge in Round 3 after a hypothetical trade-down with the Eagles, and adds interior line and playmakers (DT Rayshaun Benny, CB Tacario Davis, WR Ja’Kobi Lane, TE Will Kacmarek) to bolster depth and scheme fit under Mike McDaniel’s system.

Cooper Rush Emerges as Practical Backup Route for Herbert, Chargers Seek Stability

With Justin Herbert’s health the priority, the Chargers are targeting a proven, cost-efficient backup, and Cooper Rush—a Ravens release—fits best, offering a winning track record and not costing compensatory picks, while Trey Lance remains a secondary option; GM Joe Hortiz weighs cap implications and McDaniel’s system that can keep the offense afloat if Herbert is sidelined.

Chargers Add Keaton Mitchell, Elevating the AFC West Run Game

The Los Angeles Chargers signed former Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell to a two-year, $9.25 million deal with $5 million guaranteed, a move aimed at boosting their inconsistent run game behind Justin Herbert. Mitchell's speed and 6.3-yard average on 121 carries suggest a new threat in LA’s backfield, potentially complicating Patrick Mahomes-led Kansas City and shifting the balance in the AFC West for the 2026 season.

Chargers sign Alec Ingold to two-year, $7.5M deal to bolster backfield

The Los Angeles Chargers agreed to terms with veteran fullback Alec Ingold on a two-year, $7.5 million contract, making him one of the NFL’s highest-paid at the position with an average of $3.75 million per year. Ingold, released by the Dolphins, reunites with Chargers OC Mike McDaniel’s system and is expected to be used heavily in the offense. In 2025, he played 363 snaps (about 37% of offensive plays) across 17 games, with 10 touches for 61 yards and five first downs; he previously earned a Pro Bowl in 2023.

Chargers plot big free-agency push with Seumalo, Kolar, Gainwell in mind

The Los Angeles Chargers enter free agency with roughly $80 million to spend after cutting several players and signing center Tyler Biadasz. Their priority is upgrading the interior offensive line (with targets such as Isaac Seumalo, Wyatt Teller and Alijah Vera-Tucker) while also adding depth at running back (Kenneth Gainwell) and tight end (Charlie Kolar), and evaluating options on the defensive line and in the secondary as they reshape the roster for 2026.

Chargers land Biadasz to anchor 2026 interior line

The Los Angeles Chargers signed Tyler Biadasz to a three-year, $30 million deal to be their starting center in 2026, upgrading the interior line ahead of free agency. Biadasz, who started 34 games for Washington and 57 for Dallas and is healthy after injuries, provides a smart mid-market option to stabilize the line behind Justin Herbert as the team reshuffles interior blockers.

Biadasz Eyes Chargers as Center Vacancy Opens

Tyler Biadasz, who was released by the Commanders after stints with the Cowboys and Washington (including a 2022 Pro Bowl), is visiting the Los Angeles Chargers as they search for a starting center after Bradley Bozeman's retirement. Biadasz was due $8.3 million in 2026 with a $1 million roster bonus due April 1 and has previously drawn interest from the Bears; he started 31 games for Washington and 53 for Dallas and landed on injured reserve in Week 18 with knee and ankle injuries.

Chargers part ways with Dissly and Becton, boosting cap room for 2026

Los Angeles Chargers released tight end Will Dissly and offensive guard Mekhi Becton, while waiving Savion Washington, freeing about $13.7 million in 2026 cap space (roughly $98 million available). Becton was due a $2.5 million roster bonus after signing a two-year, $20 million deal last offseason; Dissly contributed 61 receptions for 578 yards and 2 touchdowns over two seasons, with limited production in 2025 due to injuries. With these moves, Oronde Gadsden is the only tight end currently under contract, and the team will need a starting right guard for 2026.
