The Los Angeles Chargers have made significant moves in the offseason, acquiring promising talent to bolster their offense. In the 2025 NFL Draft, the team selected wide receivers Tre Harris and Keandre Lambert-Smith, along with running back Omarian Hampton and tight end Orande Gadsden II.

This influx of young talent raises questions about the future of Quentin Johnston, the former first-round pick whose inconsistency has come under scrutiny. With the re-signing of veteran receiver Mike Williams and the addition of new prospects, some analysts suggest that Johnston could be viewed as expendable, potentially making him a candidate for a trade to teams like the Dallas Cowboys.

Despite his ups and downs, Johnston showcased his potential in the 2024 season finale with a standout performance against the Raiders, catching 13 balls for 186 yards, making it difficult to justify moving on from him just yet. The Chargers' strategy may lean towards development rather than drastic roster changes, prioritizing a 'wait-and-see' approach to see how these new additions integrate.
