Alohi Gilman is a starting safety for the Los Angeles Chargers, but he and three other players currently listed as starters won't be back in 2026.

Ladd McConkey was the breakout star for the Chargers last year. Now Los Angeles is poised to see another rookie hit the ground running with first-round running back Omarion Hampton.

The Los Angeles Chargers added a lot of strength on offense, which allowed them to 'bully' their way into the top 10 in a recent NFL power rankings.

Heading into his seventh season, Derwin James is still playing at a high level. In the latest poll of executives, coaches, and scouts for the 2025 season, James checked in as the sixth-best safety in the NFL. Last season, James came in at No. 7 ahead of the 2024 season. His highest ranking has been No. 3 and his lowest ranking has been No. 9.

An NFL writer named a second-year Los Angeles Chargers linebacker as a player to watch out for in the 2025-26 season.

“Last year, the Chargers made several August moves. They signed defensive lineman Teair Tart midway through camp to beef up their interior depth. In late August, they traded for backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke, and they traded for Molden, as our question-asker mentioned.”

Justin Herbert needs his weapons available but apparently, one of them is not showing to practice for the Los Angeles Chargers, as there is a dispute on how to handle his contract.
