The Los Angeles Chargers needed a big step this offseason after the playoffs in year one with Jim Harbaugh. What are the remaining questions after their offseason?

What is the split for Omarion Hampton and Najee Harris?

The Chargers are clearly going to lean on running first with Harbaugh and Greg Roman. So, it makes sense for them to move on from their running back room that was too banged up to be impactful late in the year in 2024. First, they added Najee Harris, who is a bigger back. Omarion Hampton is more dynamic and not quite as big as Harris, but he also brings that workhorse body type and is at his best between the tackles. There is a chance that Harris mixes here and there, but this is the Hampton show as he takes over the backfield. 

How will the wide receivers shake out?

The Chargers had no legitimate threats away from Ladd McConkey and it made their passing attack frustrating in key moments. The team added Mike Williams, who is older, and Tre Harris, who is a round two rookie, but this should be upgraded from last year. It moves Quentin Johnston from a starter they need to someone who may only play if Williams gets hurt, and they added KeAndre Lambert-Smith in round five in case Harris struggles. Considering the role for these two will mostly be to create space for McConkey, you have to think they did a solid job here. 

Who starts at center?

The Chargers have most of their offensive line sorted out, but the starting center competition will be interesting. A lot of talk has centered around Zion Johnson moving to center, which opens Jamaree Salyer up as a starter at guard. 

However, the team signed Andre James, who is a reliable started, and Bradley Bozeman started for the team last year. It will be interesting to see which direction they go. 

How will tight ends shake out?

Last year, Will Dissly broke out in the passing game, but that was far more about the lack of weapons than his ascension. In a perfect world, he is a blocking tight end. The Chargers signed Tyler Conklin and drafted Orande Gadsen, and both profile as the pass-catching type. Which one steps up in that role, and do they take it and grasp it?

Did the Chargers do enough at cornerback?

The Chargers got by in their cornerback room last year, but this is a position they either needed progression or fresh faces. They added Donte Jackson and Benjaim St. Juste as depth options, but for the most part, it appears the team is set on Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart, two fifth-round picks from last year to continue to progress. With those two outside and Ja’Sir Taylor in the slot, the team must be comfortable enough. Both St. Juste and Jackson have inside versatility helps as well but this could be what hurts the defense in year two of Harbaugh.
