Ten Chargers Free Agents Remain Unsigned Post-Draft

Following the 2025 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers still have ten unsigned free agents, including J.K. Dobbins, whose future with the team remains uncertain. The Chargers placed an unrestricted free agent tender on Dobbins, signaling a potential return, especially after rookie R.J. Mickens switched away from Dobbins' jersey number, suggesting the team is preparing for his stay. This move impacts the compensatory draft pick formula, which could deter other teams from signing Dobbins and strengthen the Chargers' running back depth if he returns. The Chargers' strategy reflects a broader trend among NFL teams, such as the Chicago Bears, who are also exploring free agency after their draft picks to fill remaining roster gaps. Teams are carefully balancing draft acquisitions and free agency signings to optimize their rosters before training camps begin.
