Chargers consider trading WR Quentin Johnston amid 0-5 start
Summary

The Los Angeles Chargers are evaluating the potential trade of wide receiver Quentin Johnston as they struggle with a 0-5 record this season. Speculation arises following disappointing performances and an upcoming Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnston's polarizing play and substantial $18 million fifth-year option present challenges for any trade, though analysts suggest he could thrive with a change of scenery. With the trade deadline approaching, the Chargers may explore options to retool the roster amidst discussions about other veterans like Khalil Mack.
