The Los Angeles Chargers didn't go overboard during NFL free agency, but they did make several changes to their roster.

Their biggest addition was Najee Harris, a running back they signed away from the Pittsburgh Steelers. Outside of Harris, they brought back Mike Williams while picking up guard Mekhi Becton, defensive lineman Da'Shawn Hand, and cornerback Donte Jackson.

Los Angeles lost several players as well, including receiver Joshua Palmer and pass rusher Joey Bosa — who both signed with the Buffalo Bills. With all those moves behind us, let's check out the updated depth chart for the Chargers.

One of the more underrated moves this offseason was signing Tyler Conklin at tight end. He had 449 yards and four touchdowns for the Jets in 2024, despite all their issues on offense. His best campaign was in 2023 when he went for 621 yards on 61 receptions.

He's not an elite pass-catcher but he's a viable starter who is rather underrated.

Losing Bosa will be tough but the Chargers did well to keep Khalil Mack around for one more year. Their defense has enough playmakers, including Derwin James and Bud Dupree, to make some noise — but they need more help at cornerback.
