Chargers | LA declines option on Zion Johnson Fri May 2, 12:34 AM
The Los Angeles Chargers did not exercise the fifth-year option on OG Zion Johnson, per The Athletic's Daniel Popper.
Link to story Chargers | Los Angeles Applies Unrestricted Tender To J.K. Dobbins Tue Apr 29, 01:57 PM
The NFL's morning transaction report for Tuesday shows that the Chargers have applied the tender to running back J.K. Dobbins, who became a free agent at the start of the league year in March.
| Footballguys view: Under the terms of the tender, the Chargers will have exclusive negotiating rights with Dobbins if he has not signed with a team at the start of training camp. He would make $3.428 million if he played out the year under the tender. If Dobbins does sign with another team, the move will still count in the compensatory pick formula for both the Chargers and Dobbins' new team. The Chargers signed Najee Harris as a free agent and drafted Omarion Hampton in the first round, so a Dobbins return would give them a lot of depth in the backfield, which is likely more depth than fantasy investors would prefer. |

Chargers | Quentin Johnston Must Earn His Roster Spot Mon Apr 28, 03:55 PM
Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnson, the team's first-round pick in 2023, will "have to earn his roster spot" in training camp, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: Popper has rookie Tre Harris starting alongside Mike Williams and Ladd McConkey in three-wide sets, bringing up the possibility of moving rookie KeAndre Lambert-Smith onto the field when they "need more speed." None of this sets up especially well for Johnston, the last pick of the Tom Telesco regime. Johnson struggled with poor route running and repeated drops as a rookie. He improved last year with a 55/711/8 receiving line, but he may be fighting for one of the last spots on the roster this year if everyone makes it through training camp without an injury. Meanwhile, Harris, a second-round pick this year, is a player to watch. |

Chargers | Hampton and Harris to be 1-2 Punch Sun Apr 27, 04:19 PM
Eric Smith, from Chargers.com, reports Los Angeles Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh plans to deploy rookie first-round pick Omarion Hampton and free agent addition RB Najee Harris as a 1-2 punch. "I look at Najee and Omarion -- both starters. He brings that same type of mentality Najee brings. Like I said last week, we're looking for someone who complements but also offers the same." Harbaugh said.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers are going to run the ball early and often, so the veteran and rookie will be splitting touches. Harris can be the early-down back, and Hampton can be the best option on passing downs. If Harris gets banged up, Hampton has the ability to take over the backfield and doesn't need to come off the field. He's got RB1 fantasy potential, but in this committee Hampton may be more like a flex play with upside. |

Link to story Chargers | Omarion Hampton should be heavily involved in 2025 Fri Apr 25, 01:52 AM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton offers 'considerably more juice' than veteran RB Najee Harris and has the potential to be the full-time No. 1 back as a rookie, in the opinion of The Athletic's Daniel Popper, who adds that Hampton can 'change the identity' of LA's offense.
| Footballguys view: Hampton is a powerful runner who chooses violence with the ball in his hands. He has good vision and will punish opponents who meet him in the hole. Hampton is also a good receiving option out of the backfield, so he could have a three-down role if called upon. It will be interesting to see how Hampton works in concert with Harris in the Chargers backfield. |
