Chargers news: Rookie holdout drama, cut candidates, trade odds and more

In this story:
Los Angeles Chargers news is about to pick up.
Chargers rookies reported to training camp over the weekend, with the rest of the roster arriving over the next handful of days before things really get rolling.
All that, of course, leads to the Chargers’ first preseason game on July 31.
Between now and then, expect to see plenty on rookie contract holdouts, cut candidates and even the idea of trades for the Chargers.
Tre Harris Contract Holdout
The contract holdout for second-round pick Tre Harris is officially a go. Not only is Harris the first rookie holdout, he’s doing it because the Browns and Texans ruined it for the Chargers and rest of the NFL.

Chargers Trades Incoming?
Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz and head coach Jim Harbaugh got active with trades last year during training camp and the preseason. With so many needs, are we about to see that again?
Chargers Cut Candidates
Certain Chargers players already feel like they’re on the cutting block, especially at those super-competitive positions with lots of depth. This one sticks out, though, especially after some comments from coaches.

Chargers Free Agent Target?
Fans might not want to hear it, but the Chargers could really use more depth at a key spot. That could mean going after a reunion with a former big name who remains on the open market.
