Los Angeles Chargers: Trades that could flip the offseason on its head
By Jason Reed
The Los Angeles Chargers were one of the most exciting teams to watch last season and might be in for an offseason of epic proportions to improve.
The Los Angeles Chargers had the joint-best record in the AFC along with the Kansas City Chiefs last season. Although the Chargers’ inexperience ultimately cost them in the Divisional Round against the New England Patriots, the Chargers season was very successful and exciting to watch.
The team had some huge wins and had some games go down to the last wire. The team stopped a two-point conversion to beat the Tennessee Titans in London, prevented the Seahawks from getting a touchdown to move it within two in the closing moments and stopped a two-point conversion from the Cincinnati Bengals that would have tied the game.
On the other side of things, the Chargers had two huge road comebacks against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers won in Seattle, Pittsburgh, Kansas City and Baltimore. Those are not places that teams just waltz into and win.
The Chargers have the young core and the talent to be successful for a long time. However, with a limited timetable on Philip Rivers, the team might have to go against its usual procedure and go all-in on a big trade this offseason.
Here are some pretty big trades for the Los Angeles Chargers that would absolutely flip the offseason on its head.
