Chargers Explore Multiple Trades Amid AFC West Competition

The Los Angeles Chargers currently lead the AFC West with a 3-1 record and are expected to be active buyers at the upcoming NFL trade deadline to strengthen their roster. One potential concern for them is the Kansas City Chiefs, who could also become buyers and reportedly might pursue running back Alvin Kamara to bolster their rushing attack, a move that Chargers fans would dislike. The Chargers themselves have explored adding depth on the offensive line, having considered a trade for Houston Texans offensive tackle Cam Robinson but ultimately acquiring Austin Deculus instead, which leaves them somewhat thin due to injuries to key players. On the offensive skill positions, the Chargers face challenges at tight end, prompting suggestions they target Browns tight end David Njoku to improve that unit. Additionally, with veteran running back Najee Harris out for the season, there is speculation the Chargers should pursue Texans running back Nick Chubb to complement rookie Omarion Hampton and provide a strong ground game. These potential moves reflect the Chargers’ efforts to maintain their divisional lead and contend with formidable rivals while addressing roster weaknesses ahead of the trade deadline.
