The Los Angeles Chargers probably aren’t going to sign your big-splash, big-name, big-contract free agents. Would adding C.J. Mosley and Earl Thomas help the Chargers win this year? Absolutely, and there remains a possibility that the Bolts take this approach. However, it’s unlikely they make any significant splashes in free agency, not with the impending extensions of several key Chargers.
Players with expiring contracts within the next two years (according to Spotrac) include:
- 2020: QB Philip Rivers, C Mike Pouncey, RB Melvin Gordon, TE Hunter Henry, LB Jatavis Brown, RB Austin Ekeler, CB Michael Davis
- 2021: DE Melvin Ingram, LT Russell Okung, WR Keenan Allen, DE Joey Bosa, LB Denzel Perryman, DB Desmond King
I’m willing to bet most fans would love to keep Rivers and Bosa, but both will demand large contracts in separate years.
