Chargers eye potential trade for Solomon Thomas following Week 1 loss

The Los Angeles Chargers are considering a trade for defensive tackle Solomon Thomas after a disappointing defensive performance in their Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Under new defensive coordinator Chris O’Leary, the Chargers defense allowed around 400 yards and managed only one sack against the Cardinals. Following this game, an NFL writer identified the Chargers as a potential suitor for Thomas, who has 18.5 career sacks and is set to become a free agent in 2027. The proposed trade would likely cost the Chargers a conditional seventh-round draft pick. The Chargers are also facing injury concerns, with wide receiver Ladd McConkey listed as day-to-day after leaving the game with a rib injury.
