After the extravagant spending spree the Chargers went on a year ago, the 2023 offseason has been nearly silent by comparison. After spending big and making deals to acquire cornerback J.C. Jackson and Khalil Mack in 2022, the Chargers have only added veteran linebacker Eric Kendricks to offset the loss of Drue Tranquill. Otherwise, they’ve only re-signed a handful of in-house players such as Trey Pipkins, Morgan Fox, and Jalen Guyton ahead of the inevitable contract extension for Justin Herbert.
While those within the fan base would argue the in-house re-signings are still significant, it’s easy to get bored from there quiet offseason before jumping to the conclusion that it’s been a “bad” offseason for the Chargers.
