The Los Angeles Chargers are in for one of their most intriguing offseasons yet. Slated to have 15 unrestricted free agents, they must decide who’s going to remain with the team when they move into their new stadium in 2020.
With that, we decided to do a ranking of what the Chargers’ top offseason priorities could look like, starting from the least enticing to the most polarizing options.
No. 15 — TE Lance Kendricks
Kendricks was brought in to serve as Virgil Green’s backup when Hunter Henry went down with a knee injury earlier this season. With Henry and Green back to their normal duties, it’s unlikely they bring back the veteran for another year.
No. 14 — C/G Ryan Groy
Groy, who was signed earlier this season to add depth to the offensive line, hasn’t been needed as Scott Quessenberry has served as the starting center. While the team will need offensive line help this offseason, they can likely look elsewhere to shore up the group.
No. 13 — LB Nick Dzubnar
Even though he hasn’t played much on the defensive side of the ball, Dzubnar has been kept by the Chargers because they covet his abilities on special teams. Rather than wasting a linebacker spot, they could look to find another option in next year’s draft to replace him.
No. 12 — WR Geremy Davis
Wide receiver depth will be an essential this offseason. But I can’t see Davis being in the team’s plans. Even though he has been a valuable blocker and special teamer, he hasn’t been productive in the passing game and an injury hampered him earlier this season.
