The Los Angeles Chargers General Manager Joe Hortiz stated that the team is unlikely to part ways with its number five pick in the upcoming NFL Draft unless a highly lucrative offer is received. Although several teams have reached out to the Chargers, Hortiz revealed that none of them has made a formal offer.

“They have to make it attractive for us to move away from those players,” Hortiz commented. He added that a “fair trade” offer would not be sufficient to convince him to send the lucrative draft pick to another team.

With the teams going before the Chargers in the draft all expected to select quarterbacks, coach Jim Harbaugh commented how the Chargers’ pick is basically the number one pick in the draft should the team pursue players in other positions. The Chicago Bears, Washington Commanders, and New England Patriots are all without starting quarterbacks, while the Arizona Cardinals may decide to trade their fourth pick.

The Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has been ruled out of Thursday night’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a heel injury. Allen’s absence is troublesome for the Chargers, not only because of his fine form this season, but because the Chargers are faced with a series of injury setbacks, with starting quarterback Justin Herbert out for the season with a broken index finger.

Allen has been experiencing his best season to date, setting the Chargers’ all-time record for catches with 108. He is currently leading the league in receptions and ranks fourth overall with a number of yards. “He provides that middle of the field target, or, ‘Hey, if he’s playing outside, I can trust it,'” Chargers coach Brandon Staley said of Allen.

Positive news has come in the form of the return of receiver Joshua Palmer, who was on injured reserve since Week 9 due to a knee sprain. The receiver made five catches for 133 yards in Week 7’s 31-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs before getting injured in the 30-13 Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears.

The Los Angeles Chargers seem to be back on track after a rough start to the 2023 campaign. The LA team dominated the New York Jets in a Monday Night Football clash to claim a 27-6 win and improve to a 4-4 record.

The Chargers’ defense showed up big time, keeping the Jets out of the end zone and only allowing two field goals. They also sacked the Jets’ quarterback Zach Wilson eight times while forcing four fumbles and recovering three.

LA’s special team also showed up to play, especially rookie Derius Davis, who scored a touchdown on a punt return to give the Chargers the early lead.

On offense, the Chargers were less efficient than they would have wanted. Quarterback Justin Herbert had only 136 passing yards without a touchdown, while the running game generated a total of 84 yards.

“The defense played terrific today, came up with some big stops, and got a lot of turnovers,” Herbert said after the game. “Offensively, we can move the ball better. We did a good job not turning the ball over. We had a couple of punts and a few miscues, but those are things that we could fix.”

The Chargers are now riding a two-game winning streak and find themselves second in the AFC West. They are set to face the Detroit Lions next Sunday.

The Jets, on the other hand, suffered their first loss in four games. They are third in the AFC North at 4-4 and play the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10.

Quarterback Justin Herbert signed a new five-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers, keeping him on until 2029. Sources reported on Tuesday that the deal is worth $262.5 million.

Included in the contract is a no-trade clause along with $133.7 million in full guarantees and $193.7 million in injury guarantees. While the team itself announced a new multiyear agreement with Herbert, no specific terms were disclosed in the statement.

Based on its average annual value of $52.5 million, this contract makes Herbert the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history. He has proven to be a crucial part of the Chargers’ roster since being drafted in 2020, helping the franchise to its first playoff appearance last year since 2018.

During his three seasons in Los Angeles, Herbert completed 1,316 career passes, the most in history for any player’s first three seasons. He has thrown 94 career touchdowns, which includes three straight seasons with 25 or more touchdown passes.

“I sleep better at night knowing we have a franchise quarterback,” Chargers general manager Tom Telesco said of Herbert. “He’s done so much already in his young career, yet we all know there’s still a lot there because of his commitment to the game.”

The Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has decided to remain with the team going into the new season, the team announced on Friday. The update comes after McVay stated during his end-of-season news conference that he would be taking the “appropriate time” to decide on his next move.

Following a 5-12 season, this was McVay’s worst season with the Rams since joining the team in 2017. The team suffered an array of injury setbacks, including that of starting quarterback Matthew Stafford, wide receiver Cooper Kupp and defensive tackle Aaron Donald.

“I know I love football and I’m so invested in this thing and I’m in the moment right now,” McVay explained. “But at some point too, if you said, ‘What do you want to be able to do?’ I want to be able to have a family, and I want to be able to spend time with them.”

Hired by the Rams just before his 31st birthday, Sean McVay was made the youngest head coach in NFL history. With a record of 67-41, McVay has led the Rams to three NFC West titles, two NFC championships, and the Super Bowl LVI in 2022.

The Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Joey Bosa returned to practice on Thursday for the first time since undergoing groin surgery in Week 3. Bosa complained about continuous groin discomfort until he tore it completely during the 38-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 25.

Despite his prolonged absence, Bosa has experienced confidence in his return to the field, explaining, “I’m feeling really good. It’s kind of revitalizing, honestly.” He has since been designated to injured reserve, meaning that the Chargers will have 21 days to decide whether or not to reactivate him upon returning to fitness.

“His was something that really caused me a lot of pain and kind of stress throughout the last couple of years, and I’ve gotten to a point where I was used to it and I didn’t understand how much was really wrong,” Bosa said of his injury issue. “Obviously, it sucks to miss all this time, but its honestly something that I really, really needed to get done.”

The Chargers are currently 9-6 and are currently second in the AFC West. With a comfortable lead over third-placed Las Vegas Raiders, this is the first time since 2018 that the Chargers have clinched a playoff berth.

The NFL teams have become increasingly creative over the years with how they announce their schedules for the upcoming season. However, the Los Angeles Chargers’ schedule release for the 2022 NFL season will be hard to top.

The Chargers released their schedule for the upcoming season as an anime-style video. The two-minute clip is filled with beautiful animations, references to popular animes, easter eggs, and some funny and savage roasts of the opposing teams.

For example, the Chargers’ Week 1 opponent, the Las Vegas Raiders, are presented as a pirate crew from One Piece. The matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs is presented in the form of a mecha fight between LA’s talented signal-caller Justin Herbert and the Chiefs’ star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Several Chargers’ opponents didn’t receive such a glowing presentation, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Cleveland Browns, and the Seattle Seahawks. The video takes a shot at the Jags’ disastrous Urban Meyer experiment, the Browns’ signing of Deshaun Watson, and the Seahawks’ rebuild. The Arizona Cardinals’ QB Kyler Murray wasn’t spared as well, with the clip making fun of his offseason social media mishaps.

Despite probably offending some teams, the video was a hit and was watched close to five million times on Twitter alone in less than 24 hours. Check it out below.

The Las Vegas Raiders are no longer undefeated in the 2021 NFL season, courtesy of the Los Angeles Chargers and their star quarterback Justin Herbert.

The Chargers entered the Monday Night Football clash against the Raiders as underdogs but ended up dominating the game and shutting down their opponents in three quarters. The Raiders also had just 51 yards of offense in the first half. This set the stage for Herbert, who finished with 222 passing yards and three touchdowns.

Running back Austin Ekeler also had a big night for the Chargers, rushing for 117 yards and one score while adding a receiving TD.

The Raiders bounced back in the third quarter and scored two touchdowns to make it a game. But that ended up being all Las Vegas had to show for, being unable to carry over the momentum to the final period. 

There were no standouts amongst the Raiders on Monday night, as quarterback Derek Carr managed just 196 passing yards while the running game seemed inexistent. They had just 48 rushing yards for the night, with Pro Bowler Josh Jakobs managing just 40 yards with his 13 carries.

The Raiders have now dropped to a 3-1 record and find themselves on the third spot in AFC West. The Chargers own the same record but are leading the division thanks to tiebreakers.

The Los Angeles Chargers joined a long list of teams that have released new uniforms this offseason, publishing a series of posts on social media on Tuesday revealing an updated look.

The Chargers, who moved from San Diego to Los Angeles between the 2016 and 2017 seasons, did not change their look when the franchise relocated to America’s second-biggest metropolitan area.

However, the team has now decided to update its look with a familiar, yet new, design.

Los Angeles released four new uniforms and four new sets of pants along with a new helmet that modernizes the team’s classic blue, white, and yellow look.

One major change that the team revealed with the new uniforms, and possibly the most noticeable addition, are numbers that correspond to the players’ uniform numbers under the lightning bolt on the white helmets.

Another change that fans took notice of was the addition of a sleek lightning bolt to the side of all of the team’s pants, altering the previous version that was encapsulated in another color.

While the general look of the team remains the same, a new update could help them establish their new identity as a Los Angeles-based team after their long history in San Diego.

After successfully hosting a number of NFL games over the years, London might be getting its own NFL team soon. According to The Athletic, the league and Los Angeles Chargers are considering moving the franchise to London on a permanent basis.

The Athletic’s Vincent Bonsignore cites league sources who reportedly told him that an idea of moving Chargers to London is beginning to gain traction among team owners and league personnel. On the other side, if the Chargers were presented with this idea, they would also be willing to consider it.

The reason why this is even an option is reportedly the concern among NFL owners that Chargers will fail to establish themselves in Los Angeles. Since relocating to LA in 2017, Chargers have been having trouble getting accepted by the city’s football fans, who overwhelmingly lean towards the LA Rams.

The league is committed to wait out and see whether the Chargers can get any traction in LA at the moment, but if things don’t improve, the London move is bound to get some traction.

Moving to London would definitely have a lot of benefits for the Chargers. Being the UK’s only football team would give the franchise a dedicated fan base and would ensure that they actually have a home crowd opposed to the current situation. Also, they would be in a big market and would have their own stadium.

On the other hand, there is plenty of cons as well. It’s unclear whether the players would accept living in a different country and how issues of traveling and different time zones would be handled.

The Chargers are probably remaining in Los Angeles for now, but don’t be surprised if they are on the move in the future.
