The Los Angeles Chargers have already made plenty of loud noises in the offseason, in large part because of the arrival of Jim Harbaugh in Inglewood for his NFL return. But Harbaugh is not the be-all and end-all of the problems and issues for the Bolts. The offseason could see the team make some more moves in order to shore up their roster.
A Joe Burrow Weapon To The Los Angeles Chargers?
Over at Chargers Wire, Gavino Borquez of Chargers Wire suggested a potential free-agent target for the Los Angeles Chargers from the AFC North in the form of Cincinnati Bengals tight end Drew Sample.
The Chargers haven’t had a good run-blocking tight end since Hunter Henry. Since they’re going to run the ball heavily in Greg Roman’s offense, it’s imperative that they bring in players at the position that are strong in that department.
While he wasn’t an asset in the Bengals’ passing game, Sample was superb as a blocker, both in pass protection and in the running game. That’s not to say that he can’t be used as a receiver, however. Across five seasons, Sample has 80 catches for 621 yards and three touchdowns.
Sample is by no means a big name. He has only scored a total of three touchdown catches in five years in the league. But he’s also someone that Borquez says is willing and capable of doing the dirtier job of trying to open up gaps for his team’s rushing attack. Back in the 2023 NFL regular season, the Los Angeles Chargers were just 27th overall in the league with only 3.8 yards per rushing attempt and 24th with 96.6 rushing yards per game. They were among the least-heavy teams in terms of rushing play percentage, but that’s about to trend upward with Roman hired to run the offense.
