J.K. Dobbins, the Chargers’ leading rusher from the 2024 season, is scheduled to be a free agent next month when the new league year begins. I feel strongly that the Bolts will bring back Dobbins, but that doesn’t mean the Chargers won’t try and add to the backfield.
Gus Edwards is still under contract for the next two years but cutting him would alleviate over $3 million in cap and leave $1.125 million in dead cap space. Unless the Chargers believe Kimani Vidal will be able to step into a complementary role in 2025, I could see the Chargers potentially drafting another back at some point in April.
