Chargers 53-man roster projection after first wave of free agency

Chargers Wire’s Gavino Borquez predicts the Los Angeles Chargers roster for the 2020 regular season after the first wave of free agency.

The first wave of free agency has come to an end, and the Chargers were successful in addressing a few positions of need.

Many have been wondering how the moves made in free agency impacts the roster, so I’ve decided to do a way-too-early 53-man roster projection.
