The Los Angeles Chargers had an opportunity to be true sellers after an 0-8 start to the season, only to land somewhere closer to the middle.
The NFL trade deadline passed, and the Los Angeles Chargers opted to retain their key players, quarterback Justin Herbert and outside linebacker Khalil Mack. Following a disappointing 0-8 start to the season, the team had seemingly become a potential trade target.
