The free agency period has proven challenging for the Chargers as they attempt to keep their roster intact. Cornerback Kristian Fulton has signed a two-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, leaving the Chargers to fill the void. Fulton, who started a career-high 14 games last season, was hoping to revive his career after injury struggles. His exit follows that of defensive lineman Poona Ford, who has also left for a deal with the Rams.

In a bid to bolster their secondary, the Chargers have reportedly agreed to terms with cornerback Donte Jackson, formerly of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Additionally, they re-signed safety Elijah Molden before the free agency opened, ensuring some continuity in their defense despite the recent departures.
