The LA Chargers made two trades on the day of the trade deadline but they weren't what fans expected. Los Angeles traded a future sixth-round pick for 2022 first-round pick Trevor Penning, who provides offensive line depth despite his subpar play. The Bolts also traded away Ja'Sir Taylor for a 2028 seventh-round pick in a move that will have no tangible impact.
While it's nice to see the Chargers addressing the offensive line and getting draft capital for a player fans never would have expected, there still was a sense of FOMO stemming from the Bolts' deadline. After all, this is a Super Bowl-caliber team that has fillable holes on the roster.
