2024 NFL Trade Deadline Approaches in Los Angeles

As the clock ticks down towards the 2024 NFL trade deadline, excitement is building among fans and teams alike in Los Angeles. The deadline is set for this Tuesday at 1 p.m. (PT), a change from previous years when it fell after Week 8. The NFL owners voted to push it back to now fall after Week 9, giving teams more time to evaluate their rosters and make critical adjustments.

The Los Angeles Chargers are one of the teams potentially looking to make some moves. General Manager Joe Hortiz has already shown readiness to trade, having brought in players like Elijah Molden and Taylor Heinicke before the season kicked off. Hortiz has emphasized the importance of enhancing the roster whenever possible.

Currently, the Chargers possess eight draft picks for the 2025 NFL Draft. Teams can make trades involving these picks, but they cannot trade compensatory picks until they’re finalized by the league. Fans are eager to see if the Chargers will make a move to bolster their chances as the season progresses.

Several significant trades have already happened around the league, including the New York Jets acquiring wide receiver Davante Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Buffalo Bills picking up wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings made headlines by acquiring tackle Cam Robinson from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

In addition to trade talks, the Chargers have also made lineup changes, signing Sam Mustipher to their active roster and elevating several players from their practice squad in preparation for their upcoming games.

The Chargers are gearing up for their matchup against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday at 1:05 p.m. at SoFi Stadium, eager to bring their best performance as they eye potential trades to strengthen their team.
