Rashawn Slater

LAC Tackle #70

Chargers GM Joe Hortiz said the team has “had conversations” with LT Rashawn Slater on an extension.

“Rashawn is a great player, and he helps us win football games, so I’d love Rashan to be around for a long time,” Hortiz said while sticking to the fact sheet. Slater is entering the fifth-year option season of his contract and, while we haven’t posted about it, his extension has been a primary point of interest for Chargers beat writers for some time now. Getting Slater to reduce his $19.04 million cap figure before free agency could help Los Angeles land another player or two, perhaps incentivizing them to sign this sooner rather than later. Slater had a 90.9 PFF blocking grade last year, which was second amongst all tackles.
Joey Bosa

LAC Linebacker #97

Chargers general manager Joe Horitz said Joey Bosa wants to remain with the team long term.

“I know he wants to retire a Charger,” Horitz told reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine. “I’d love for him to retire a Charger. I love Joey — the teammate, the competitor.” Bosa is set to account for a massive salary cap hit in 2025 ($36 million) and has been discussed as a potential cap casualty. Bosa, entering his age-29 season, has played in just 28 games over the past three seasons while suffering a spate of injuries, including two foot injuries. That could be a factor in the team’s decision to keep Bosa going into the 2025 season. Pro Football Focus graded Bosa 63rd out of 132 qualifying EDGE rushers in 2024. His ten sacks ranked 21st in the NFL.
Elijah Molden

LAC Cornerback #22

Chargers signed S Elijah Molden to a three-year, $18.75 million contract.

The deal includes $13.5 million guaranteed. Acquired from the Titans for a bag of footballs near final cuts, 26-year-old Molden blossomed, posting a career year under player’s coach Jim Harbaugh. His season did end on a sour note, as he suffered a Week 17 broken leg before requiring meniscus surgery in January. That’s a lot to rehab from in one offseason, but the Bolts are obviously confident Molden will be ready to go come Week 1. Solid in every phase of the game, Molden could graduate to near every-snap status in 2025. He played 78 percent of Los Angeles’ defensive snaps in 2024.
Justin Herbert

LAC Quarterback #10

Chargers will be designated as the home team in Week 1’s game in São Paulo, Brazil.

Justin Herbert and the Bolts will face a yet-to-be-named opponent in Brazil on September 5. This will mark the second straight season in which the NFL has hosted a game in Brazil; the Eagles beat the Packers in Brazil last September on a muddy field. Herbert and the Chargers will look to bounce back from a disappointing end to the 2024 season, a Wild Card meltdown against the Texans. The league will host seven international games during the 2025 season.
Mike Williams

PIT Wide Receiver #18

The Athletic’s Daniel Popper believes a Mike Williams reunion with the Chargers “makes a ton of sense.”

The Chargers badly needed a field-stretching weapon after releasing Williams last offseason and never truly found one. Popper points out that Williams has a “built-in rapport with quarterback Justin Herbert from their four seasons together.” Williams would be a cheaper option than someone like Tee Higgins, who even if he is franchise tagged could be available in a trade. Williams could be a candidate for a rebound after a whirlwind season where a rehab-addled one-year deal with the Jets (along with Aaron Rodgers complaining about him) led to the receiver getting dealt to Pittsburgh at the trade deadline.
Chad Alexander

LAC Assistant GM

The Jaguars completed an interview with Chargers’ assistant general manager Chad Alexander for their general manager vacancy.

Alexander has spent just one season with the Chargers, and previously was employed by the Ravens and Jets. He’s the seventh known candidate to interview for the job, as the Jaguars look to replace Trent Baalke after Baalke was dismissed on January 22. It seems likely Jacksonville will have a new head honcho in the coming days.
Deebo Samuel Sr.

SF Wide Receiver #1

NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco lists the Bills, Chargers, Commanders, Steelers, and Texans as best fits for a Deebo Samuel trade.

These are all teams that check the competing for a title, obvious wideout need, and/or ties to former 49ers personnel boxes. Maiocco writes that Samuel produces better in zone coverage. For a team like the Bills or Chargers, he’d add on to their run-game structure by giving them an ancillary runner and end around threat out of the backfield. It’s likely that these teams will all be bandied about as destinations for Samuel, Cooper Kupp, and most of the other big names on the market outside of Tee Higgins this offseason.
Davante Adams

NYJ Wide Receiver #17

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano report Davante Adams would be open to signing with the Rams, Chargers or 49ers this offseason, if released by the Jets.

Adams grew up in Northern California and attended Fresno State University, where he famously played with Derek Carr. Despite currently being on the same roster as his friend Aaron Rodgers, Fowler describes Adams’ $38.3 million cap hit for 2025 as “untenable” and something that will need to be addressed this offseason. If Rodgers remains a Jet, releasing Adams right after New York traded a conditional third-round pick for him doesn’t make a lot of sense. Perhaps a new contract could be the solution for a reunion with the Jets. Of the teams Fowler mentioned, the Rams and Chargers seem to have a more obvious need at wide receiver than the 49ers.
Khalil Mack

LAC Linebacker #52

The Athletic’s Daniel Popper writes that the Chargers will “be in the driver’s seat” for Khalil Mack as he tests free agency.

ESPN’s reporting has Mack playing in 2025, and Mack is already on record as saying: “As long as Justin Herbert is your quarterback, and you got Derwin James and all these guys that love the game of football, and you got Jim Harbaugh coaching them, you know you always have a chance to win. That’s a no-brainer in the sense of, yeah, if you know football, then you know.” If winning remains the main priority for Mack, it’s hard to imagine a better situation than the Chargers unless he truly wants to go ring-hunting on a bargain contract.
Sanjay Lal

LAC Wide Receiver

The Chargers blocked the Raiders’ request to interview WR coach Sanjay Lal for their vacant pass game coordinator and WR coach role.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Chargers are unwilling to allow Lal to jump ship for a division rival. Lal helped the Chargers get all the productivity they could out of a shallow wide receiver corps in 2024 and they undoubtedly hope he can continue to maximize talent for them moving forward. Lal notably coached under Pete Carroll for three seasons with the Seahawks.
