Chargers NFL trade deadline live updates, news and rumors

The Los Angeles Chargers could be one of the NFL’s most interesting, active teams at the NFL trade deadline.

Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers got out in front of the NFL trade market weeks ago with the move to acquire pass-rusher Odafe Oweh.

Now, with season-ending injuries to Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater, plus injuries to names like Mekhi Becton, Trey Pipkins and running backs Najee Harris, Omarion Hampton and Hassan Haskins (to name a few), well, the Chargers could use some more help.

Below, we’ll update a tracker with live buzz, rumors and news as it happens at the deadline for the Chargers.

Chargers trade Ja'Sir Taylor to Jets

While announcing NFL trade deadline deals, the Chargers shocked by announcing two moves. The other? Trading cornerback Ja'Sir Taylor to the New York Jets.

Chargers trade for Saints OT Trevor Penning

The Chargers struck an NFL trade deadline buzzer deal, getting a former first-round pick and likely starter in Trevor Penning.

Chargers, Odafe Oweh, Ravens trade recap

Back in early October, the Chargers sent a 2026 fifth-round pick and safety Alohi Gilman to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for Odafe Oweh. He’s since recorded four sacks in as many games after none in Baltimore. It’s the latest lopsided deal favoring the Chargers, with the deal involving Ladd McConkey and New England still the top example. If the Chargers front office can keep pulling off ripoffs like that, they need to make it happen.

Chargers cap space, list of draft picks at NFL trade deadline

The Chargers’ cap space and list of draft picks available for trade don’t seem like much, on paper. But the front office has already shown a willingness to get creative to make things work.

Chargers NFL trade deadline needs

The Chargers have many needs at the NFL trade deadline, but could especially use capable veterans on the offensive line in front of Justin Herbert and at running back until Hampton can return.
