Among the big-name players that could be available come March that would make a lot of sense for the Chargers is Giants defensive tackle Leonard Williams.
Williams recorded double-digit sacks (11.5), and career-highs in quarterback hits (30), pressures (42), and tackles for loss (14) in 2020. He finished as Pro Football Focus’ sixth-best interior defensive lineman.
The interior part of the Bolts’ defensive line leaves a lot to be desired. Linval Joseph was arguably the best player among the crop last season, but he will be on the final year of his deal.
Jerry Tillery hasn’t lived up to his first-round status. Justin Jones has flashed here and there, but he hasn’t been consistently dominant.
Given the fact that head coach Brandon Staley’s system is heavily predicated on being able to win one-on-one matchups in the trenches, the Chargers could benefit from someone like Williams.
With a projected $24.2 million available in cap space, Los Angeles could afford to work out a deal to add the former first-round pick
