Episode Details

The Los Angeles Chargers offensive line, crucial for protecting quarterback Justin Herbert, has seen significant changes this offseason. Theyve signed a solid but not top-tier center, released a struggling guard, and added another starter with weak pass protection. The team also let go of breakout guard Zion Johnson.

Veteran lineman Elgton Jenkins, a strong pass blocker, was released by the Green Bay Packers and signed a two-year, twenty-four million dollar deal with the Cleveland Browns. Despite having cap space to outbid the Browns, the Chargers didnt pursue Jenkins aggressively.

The teams current top guard option, Cole Strange, is not seen as a reliable long-term protector for Herbert. The Chargers are paying over seven point six million dollars against the cap next year for Strange and Trevor Penning.

As the offseason progresses, the Chargers might look to the 2026 draft for multiple linemen. Securing real protection for Herbert remains the top priority.
