At 4-3, the Los Angeles Chargers are right in the thick of the AFC playoff race. After defeating the New Orleans Saints in Week 8, the Chargers will now face a resurgent Cleveland Browns club in Week 9.
If the Bolts can win their second straight game and move to 5-3, they’ll be in good condition heading into the second half of the season. But, as the second half push begins, would the Chargers make a last-minute deal before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday of next week?
Of course, one of the key positions that supporters have long wanted the Chargers to address this season is wide receiver. The loss of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, in particular, has harmed the group as a whole. While youngster Ladd McConkey has performed admirably early in Year 1, this is a room that still requires some assistance.
If the Chargers can find a veteran who can extend the field, McConkey could be even more fruitful.
Many supporters have hoped for a reunion between the Chargers and Williams, who was rumoured to be available when the New York Jets traded for Davante Adams. And, much to the delight of Chargers supporters, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini just verified that the Bolts are one of three clubs interested in trading Williams.
Many fans had anticipated for a reunion between the Chargers and Williams, who was believed to be available after the New York Jets traded for Davante Adams. And, much to the delight of Chargers fans, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini has confirmed that the Bolts are one of three teams interested in dealing Williams.
However, the injury changed everything for the Jets. For those who watched Thursday Night Football, rookie wide receiver Malachi Corley made a costly mistake by losing the football just before the goal line in the Jets’ victory over the Houston Texans. That alone is enough to justify the Jets keeping Williams past the deadline.
Fans wanted the Chargers to be involved in the Diontae Johnson trade, which ultimately resulted in the former Carolina Panther moving to Baltimore. As the deadline approaches, the alternatives at wide receiver become increasingly restricted.
