Chargers Star Predicted to Join AFC West Rival in Latest Free Agency Projection

The 2024 season has been an exciting one for the Chargers with Jim Harbaugh in charge. Just last season, Los Angeles went 5-12 but has topped that record already. Heading into Week 13, the Chargers are 7-4 on the season and are fighting for a playoff spot.

That is the focus of the players on the team but that doesn't stop others from thinking about the 2025 offseason. Bleacher Report released an article discussing every team's weakness entering Week 13 and players they should target in free agency.

On that list, the Las Vegas Raiders are projected to poach running back J.K. Dobbins from Los Angeles. The Ohio State product joined the Chargers in April on a one-year, $1.61 million deal and has been a productive force for this team.

In 2024, he's 12th in the NFL in rushing yards (766) and tied for ninth in rushing touchdowns (9). He's currently dealing with a knee sprain that will keep him sidelined for a few weeks but when he's on the field, the 25-year-old is productive.

Due to his solid play this season, he may have priced himself out of Los Angeles. The Raiders need more juice in the backfield and could look to snag Dobbins. Zamir White, Alexander Mattison, Dylan Laube, or Ameer Abdullah aren't lead workhorses so the Raiders will certainly look to upgrade that position.

In Week 1 against the Raiders, Dobbins rushed for 135 yards and one touchdown. Las Vegas saw firsthand what kind of play Dobbins can provide. When free agency rolls around, they are a team to watch for Dobbins services. And that won't be thrilling to Charger fans.
