Justin Herbert looked in midseason form on the opening day of Chargers OTAs, threading a strike to Quentin Johnston and delivering solid connects to multiple receivers in 7-on-7 drills while the offensive line was rotated through several combinations with Slater and Alt back from injuries; on defense, Daiyan Henley notched an interception, helping set the tone for a notes-filled first day ahead of minicamp.
Chargers GM Joe Hortiz denied ongoing trade rumors about wide receiver Quentin Johnston, saying he has made zero calls about Johnston and expects him to stay with the team in 2026. Johnston, a 2023 first‑round pick, has led the Chargers in touchdowns the past two seasons and posted 735 receiving yards last year. With a May 1 deadline to exercise Johnston’s fifth‑year option (about $18.1 million in 2027), the Chargers emphasize development and a deep WR room that includes Ladd McConkey, Tre Harris, and KeAndre Lambert‑Smith.
With the draft near, the Chargers’ No. 22 pick would likely be used to address left guard rather than lock in a pure tackle, unless the prospect can move inside to guard for McDaniel’s outside-zone scheme. Slater and Alt are expected to return, so the focus is depth at guard and tackle insurance; potential guard targets include Olaivavega Ioane, Chase Bisontis, Emmanuel Pregnon, Keylan Rutledge and Gennings Dunker. Trading Johnston for Day-3 picks doesn’t make sense given his cheap contract and upside, though the team will weigh the fifth-year option before May 1. If they don’t add an edge rusher in the draft, post-draft veteran options (Clowney, Jordan, Floyd, Miller) could surface as targets.
