Chargers eye Deebo Samuel as potential addition to offense

Summary

The Los Angeles Chargers are considering adding Deebo Samuel to their roster ahead of the 2026 season. This follows a less productive offensive performance last season, where they struggled to score in crucial games. With Jim Harbaugh as head coach and Justin Herbert at quarterback, the Chargers are looking to enhance their receiving corps, which includes Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston. Samuel’s versatility, despite his previous season's performance with the Washington Commanders, could be a strategic fit for the Chargers' revamped offense under new coordinator Mike McDaniel. A decision on Samuel could happen by mid-August before the season begins.
