The Los Angeles Chargers demonstrated their savvy on the waiver wire this past season, making strategic acquisitions to bolster their roster. One notable addition was former Miami Dolphins safety Marcus Maye, who made an immediate impact by grabbing an interception during his first game with the Chargers after joining in November. Following that, the Chargers also showed interest in Diontae Johnson, an embattled wide receiver from the Pittsburgh Steelers, marking themselves as keen players in the waiver game.

As the Super Bowl concluded, the waiver wire order shifted to align with the NFL draft order, placing the Chargers at 22nd in priority. This order will remain until Week 3 of the regular season, giving the Chargers a notable position to potentially add more talent as the season progresses. The team's aggressive approach to the waiver wire indicates a commitment to improving their performance and depth ahead of the next campaign.
