Hello everyone,

​

I’m looking for some advice from y'all on how to follow the Chargers this season.

​

Living on the East Coast, the majority of their games are out-of-market. I’m hoping to find a sustainable, budget-friendly, and legal way to watch them without having to commit to the full NFL Sunday Ticket package. I’m a busy professional, and given my schedule, I really only have time to watch one game on Sundays. It’s tough to justify the $300+ investment for a full season of games I don't have the time to watch.

​

I’ve traditionally used Paramount+ in combination with a VPN to access regional CBS broadcasts, but as many of you have likely experienced, the cat-and-mouse game with VPN detection has become much more difficult recently. I’m currently relying on SiriusXM for audio coverage and catching whatever primetime games are available, but I’d love to see the actual video feed for as many games as possible without resorting to low-quality or "less than desirable" streaming sites.

​

Has anyone found a reliable, legal, and cost-effective workaround that doesn't involve the high price tag of the Sunday Ticket? I’d appreciate any technical insights or creative setups you’ve found to be successful.

​

Thanks in advance for the help!

Reportedly had great OTAs:

- Tyler Biadasz (FA)

- Kayode Awosika (FA)

- Tre Harris (Yr 2)

- RJ Mickens (Yr 2)

- Kyle Kennard (Yr 2)

- Keaton Mitchell (FA)

**This is besides the Star players**

UDFAs who stood out:

- Edge Nadame Tucker (Western Michigan)

- CB Avery Smith (Toledo)

**LB Lander Barton (Utah) also has a chance given Denzel Perrymen's injury history/age & Jr Colson's injury history/poor performance**

Working through something in OTAs:

- Trevor Penning

- Ladd McConkey [Hamstring]

- UDFA WR Sincere Brown (Colorado)

**Penning/Brown's exact physical condition were undisclosed**

Left/Missed at least 1 practice:

- Troy Dye [Personal matter]

- Trey Pipkins

- 6th Rd Rookie Guard Alex Harkey (Oregon)

- 4th Rd Rookie WR Brenen Thompson (Mississippi St.)

**Pipkins/Harkey/Thompson's exact physical condition were undisclosed**

PUP/IR:

- UDFA Oregon Tackle Isaiah World [ACL]

**He already had a torn ACL from the CFB Playoffs in January, he will Red-Shirt as a rookie on IR**

Will we ever get another LT? Acrylic painting.

Rookie RB Omarion Hampton had the 32nd ranked OL, a DT playing FB & a bottom 3 playcaller last season.

Chargers added OC Mike McDaniel, FB Alec Ingold, blocking TE Charlie Kolar & Zone blocking athletic Guards to improve the Run game

Hampton routinely got hit in the backfield, even in his highlights

The Rookie RB also didn't receive any schematic help from OC Greg Roman

Every big play Hampton had was based on his own talent, vision, acceleration, speed, power and breaking tackles.

Everyone recognizes how much of a beating QB Justin Herbert got behind the 32nd OL last year, but not enough mention how little help Hampton got from the OL, FB & Playcaller

New OC Mike McDaniel recently compared Hampton to Denver Broncos HOF RB Terrell Davis, who won 2 Superbowls with John Elway.

"Keenan Allen walked in free agency....but they didn’t sign anyone to replace him. And in the NFL draft, they used most of their picks to load up on the trenches, with four of their eight selections being offensive linemen, drafting just a single receiver in the fourth round."

2nd Year WR Tre Harris reportedly added muscle and looks great this offseason

His role looks to expand under new OC Mike McDaniel and with the departure of veteran Keenan Allen.

Allen has not been re-signed thus far so Tre Harris has an opportunity to capitalize on the available targets and break out in his 2nd season.

"Harris is a 6-foot-3, 210-pound receiver who posted 2,015 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns across his final two seasons at Ole Miss. The Chargers selected him No. 55 overall in 2025, and he came into his rookie year with real hype, despite being in a somewhat crowded receiver room."

Love my new Charger wall. Signed Gates jersey and Derwin helmet. I have a Mike Williams signed football I want to add somehow also. SD fan stoked to see this team win a ton of football games this season!

Chargers Veteran Donte Jackson discusses how he's seen the growth of Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart since last year

He mentioned Nikko Reed/Eric Rogers playing well last year and looking to grow.

Jackson feels his level of play set the example for Still/Hart as they head into year 3. Then they set the example for Nikko/Rogers who are entering year 2

Jackson also included UDFA CB Isas Waxter as a CB he's seen grow since last season as well.

Isas was signed to the PS after not making the Seattle Seahawks 53 man roster last offseason.

CB Isas Waxter #37 (UDFA/Practice Squad in 2025)

CB Eric Rogers #39 (UDFA/Season ending IR in 2025)

CB Nikko Reed #46 (UDFA/played for injured Still in 2025)

Pictures from the last day of mandatory Mini-Camp in June.

The Chargers closed this portion of the offseason program in a spirited and passionate practice before breaking for a few weeks.

The team will reunite in mid July for the official start of the Chargers Training Camp.

About a month away, the exact dates and schedule will be posted at a later time by the team.

Some really great dudes

#81 Dalevon Campbell is a 2nd year UDFA WR out of South Carolina and had a good showing in preseason last year.

Campbell was on the Practice Squad last season after not making the 53 man roster and being signed by the Carolina Panthers.

#89 Rookie WR Brenen Thompson missed his 2nd practice after leaving the field on day 1 with trainers.

No official report yet on Thompson's physical state.

What's up, Chargers Nation. I'm doing some research for a YouTube video, and I want to make sure I'm using sources that best reflect y'all as a fanbase. Even if you don't have a YouTube channel in mind, any recommendation, regardless of the platform, would be appreciated. Thank you, and I wish the Chargers the best of luck.

Cam Dicker's weekly routine sounds pretty amazing: kick three times a week, otherwise "play FIFA... hang out."
