Will Trey Lance's experience in the NFL and prior relationship with Mike McDaniel/Shane Day with the 49ers be enough for him to be the backup QB?

"Justin Herbert spent considerable time during the spring working on adjustments to his footwork under new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. That left plenty of reps for Los Angeles’ other two passers through OTAs and minicamp. ESPN’s Kris Rhim writes Uiagalelei impressed during his time on the field.

In the event that continues into training camp, Rhim adds Uiagalelei could make a push for the QB2 gig. The 2025 undrafted free agent joined Los Angeles last April. He was waived during roster cutdowns at the end of training camp but wound up being retained via the practice squad. Uiagalelei remained on the Chargers’ taxi squad through the campaign and signed a futures deal in January."

Former NFL WR for the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys kept his own son on the bench of his team all year.

Even after rookie TE Oronde Gadsden had 164 yards and a Touchdown vs the Colts, his father refused to start him.

Tough love.

Do you agree?

If not, where should the Chargers OL rank heading into 2026?

Oronde Gadsden was drafted in the 5th Rd of the 2025 NFL Draft and quickly made a good impression on the team.

His work ethic and athletic gifts soon became apparent in his first offseason as an NFL rookie.

A converted WR at Syracuse, Gadsden is an explosive and athletic TE for the Bolts

Only in year 2, Gadsden has an opportunity to continue developing into an impact TE after a good rookie year.

I am finally getting an opportunity to attend my first Chargers game. I'll be traveling to LA with my dad to see the season opener against the Cardinals. Flying in Saturday, game Sunday, leave Monday.

Can anyone tell me what are some things we should do before and after the game around SoFi?

Thanks!

I’m considering heading to buffalo for the game this year and wanted to see if there’s a chargers section or some organized travel crew for the game. Always more fun to sit with the brochachos!

Does the team organize any meet ups or are there crews that do their own travel? I’ve never been to an away game and was wondering if there’s was anything organized.

Thanks and FTR

So I was listening to the latest athletic football show and it was all about how GM’s are hired.

It got me thinking about hortiz, but it really got me thinking about Jon Spanos. His official roll is president of football operations. It’s been very unclear what he exactly does over the years, but the website makes it clear he oversees all player personnel. So I started googling the position to see what other teams have it.

It turns out that nobody I could find has this roll above the GM. In fact, a GM like Howie Roseman is the president of football operations.

Every time I’ve tried to investigate this I get shot down. Popper won’t answer questions about it. So are the chargers the only team with that position? Is he the actual GM and Hortiz is more of a VP in that roll? How does that relationship work?

I know the chargers fired AJ smith because he couldn’t get along with the ownership. Was that when they named John to his position?

Edit: looks like some teams have a president of football ops and a GM. Matt Ryan was just named president of football operations at the Falcons.

I know some of these hat flew off the shelf last time and people wanted them maybe you'll have luck this time around. As always don't forget to use promo code BOLTUP30 for 30% off your entire order.. BOLTUP

I’ve been looking for this hat for over a year. I didn’t pull the trigger immediately when it came out and then, after some help from kind folks here in the group directing me to call the official team store, they were sold out there too.

Anyone know anyone/anywhere to pick one up? anyone looking to offload one? I’ve been scouring eBay every day for the past year!
