Chargers Stand Pat at Trade Deadline Despite Clear Needs and 3-4 Start
The NFL Trade Deadline has come and gone, and the Los Angeles Chargers did nothing.
Despite having clear needs on both sides of the ball, the Chargers elected to stand pat, and work with the roster they have as they enter the halfway point of the season at 3-4.
The Chargers were linked to All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and young standout receiver Darnell Mooney, but in the end, the team elected to stand pat as they continue to fight in the AFC Wild Card race.
The Chargers will be getting reinforcements back soon in the form of WR Jalen Guyton and DL Otito Ogbonnia from the injured reserve, however, it definitely felt like the team could use a spark as they sit at 3-4 with wins over the Minnesota Vikings, Las Vegas Raiders and Chicago Bears.
The Chargers will have a chance to get back to .500 on Monday Night Football against the New York Jets this week. They'll hope to be fully healthy and continue to build momentum after their Sunday Night Football win over Chicago.
