The Los Angeles Chargers are absolutely cooked, sitting at a brutal 0-5 to start their season with zero signs of life, and it looks like a full-blown fire sale is coming. This is a nightmare season for L.A. with no turnaround in sight, and the only logical next step is for them to become sellers at the upcoming trade deadline on November 10.
The 0-5 Chargers Are Already Looking to Hit the Eject Button
It’s a real possibility the Chargers go that route, shipping off a ton of their top players to contenders who need a boost. There’s almost no chance the Chargers make any kind of real turnaround this season, leaving them with what feels like no choice but to sell their players while they can still get something for them. The season is already a disaster, and it’s barely even mid-October.
Khalil Mack Is the Crown Jewel, But Others Are on the Chopping Block
CBS Sports’ Carter Bahns named four players who could be on the trade block: Khalil Mack, Donte Jackson, Quentin Johnston, and David Njoku. Mack has appeared as a top trade candidate, and that buzz is only going to get louder in the coming weeks. Bahns wrote that Mack “is by far the most tradeable player on the roster as a 35-year-old playing extremely well on a one-year contract.” Talk about a prime rental player for defense-needy playoff teams. Mack might be their best asset, even at his age. As for the others like Jackson, Johnston, and Njoku, they could realistically be flipped for some late-round picks.
It’s still pretty early to tell if the Chargers are going to fully commit to being sellers. But if they keep stumbling down this path, the big question won’t be *if* they’ll trade players, but *how many* guys they’re going to part ways with before November 10. The league is definitely watching to see how this disaster unfolds.
