The Chargers receiver room is likely due for major changes as rookie Ladd McConkey was the group’s only consistent force. Joshua Palmer, the Chargers’ 2021 third-round draft pick, is a free agent for the first time after finishing third on the team with 584 yards receiving on 39 catches. D.J. Chark Jr. and Simi Fehoko will hit the open market after injury-riddled seasons.
Bengals star receiver Tee Higgins has been a top free-agent name, although the 26-year-old could be franchise-tagged for the second consecutive season or re-signed to a new contract before he becomes available. After the Chargers cut him to manage the salary cap, Mike Williams could return to the team that drafted him in 2017.
Running back J.K. Dobbins is also a free agent and could re-sign after rushing for a 905 yards on a one-year deal.
