The Los Angeles Chargers had a mostly positive offseason. However, despite higher expectations, a few former players will be missed next season.

No NFL team is perfect and that obviously applies to the Los Angeles Chargers. While the Chargers had a quiet offseason, the acquisitions the team made were big ones.

The best moves the Chargers made came in signing Pro Bowl center Mike Pouncey, who will be part of a (hopefully) healthy offensive line that may be one of the best Philip Rivers has ever had. The other significant move of the offseason was bringing in kickers Caleb Sturgis and Roberto Aguayo to battle it out to be the starting kicker.

Aside from that, the Los Angeles Chargers did not do much aside from the 2018 NFL Draft. Just like the rest of the moves the team made, the 2018 NFL Draft was huge for the Chargers and put LA in a great place to succeed.

First-round pick Derwin James was a huge draft pick and will add to an already scary secondary in Los Angeles. Second and third-round picks Uchenna Nwosu and Justin Jones will also be difference makers this season.

However, despite the overall positivity, the offseason was not perfect for LA. There are several players departing the team, some of which will be missed more than others.

Here are the three former players that the Chargers will miss the most next season.
