The Chargers have lost many more players to free agency this year compared to the number they’ve signed. Off the top, they’ve lost safety Nasir Adderley (retired), linebacker Drue Tranquill (Chiefs), defensive tackle Breiden Fehoko (Steelers), and wide receiver DeAndre Carter (Raiders) compared to adding solely linebacker Eric Kendricks.
As things stand, it’s hard to say the needle hasn’t moved in the wrong direction. With several notable starters and role players gone, the Chargers will have to hit on a number of their draft picks this year to cultivate confidence in the fan base that they can take things further in 2023.
