On Wednesday evening, the Los Angeles Chargers took an important step to replace some offensive firepower they lost in March. The Chargers finished the 2023 season with Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, and Austin Ekeler on the roster.
The Los Angeles Chargers lost three key starters on offense
By the end of March, new head coach Jim Harbaugh was preparing to start offseason workouts without any of them. The Chargers, faced with cap issues before free agency, released Williams, traded Allen, and let Ekeler walk in free agency. The Chargers offense will have to reload this season.
They added one piece to this with a week to go before the 2024 NFL Draft, and it’s a player Jim’s brother, John Harbaugh, used for his offense in Baltimore.
J.K. Dobbins signed with the Chargers
According to Adam Schefter with ESPN, the Chargers are set to sign former Ball Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins to a one-year deal. Dobbins will play under offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who coached Dobbins in Baltimore.
