Chargers Offseason Moves Earn Them Average Grade

Not terrible, but not great either.

All 32 NFL teams have the chance to introduce new talent and shed some more when it comes to the offseason that follows the long grueling campaign. 

For the Chargers, the flurry of additions and subtractions they made during the offseason earned them a C in the eyes of at least one writer. 

As the Chargers prepare for life with an expensive quarterback, they were mostly quiet on the free agent front with linebacker Eric Kendricks the only major addition. They did fill needs via the draft, adding another offensive weapon in first-round wideout Quentin Johnston and more linebacker help with Tuli Tuipulotu and Daiyan Henley. Retaining right tackle Trey Pipkins on a big three-year deal was important, though the most significant offseason transaction was the addition of former Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to jumpstart the offense.

With Justin Herbert secured for the long-term future, the Chargers addressed other needs for their team through their offseason moves, but LA's issues may be internal. 

For head coach Brandon Staley, the inconsistencies with both the defensive side of the ball and late-game execution are narratives that he and his team have grown tired of. 

Addressing those needs in the spring, the team wants to look ahead to a new season where anything is truly possible. 

Reinforcements for their signal caller at both the skill positions and the trenches should only help that fact. 

On the defensive side of the ball, simply health for their stars in Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, and J.C. Jackson would go a long way to solidifying a unit that's long been criticized. 

Regular season action approaches in just a few weeks, and the fans at SoFi are just as eager to prove the doubters wrong as their beloved Bolts are.
