Chargers blasted over poor free agency approach

The are a fascinating watch this offseason, because there are clear areas of need on the roster, but there doesn't appear to be a willingne s to go big and get key players.  Yes, the franchise made a couple of shrewd signings, and with Mike McDaniel as the new offensive coordinator, some thought the franchise could lean into getting more help for Justin Herbert.  Tyler Biadasz, Keaton Mitchell, and Charlie Kolar have come aboard, but they aren't difference-makers.  So, it is a little odd that a team with so much cap room doesn't want to spend it.  For Sports Illustrated's Matt Verderame, in his good, bad, and ugly piece on free agency, L.A.'s lack of spending has landed in the ugly category. Jabari Zuniga Jersey   "If the Chargers are ever going to win a Super Bowl, they have to spend like a team attempting to win a championship," . "Going into free agency, the only teams with more cap space were the and . Both spent like sailors on leave.Then theres Los Angeles, which still has the second-most cap space."  More:  Chargers need more in free agency  As Verderame stated, the Chargers still have a lot of cap space to go spend, and with the offense and Herbert needing some weapons, why not go after someone who can make a difference?  Keenan Allen could return, but he is getting older, and the draft won't give L.A. the offensive punch it needs.  Make no mistake, the Chargers have the bones of a good team, but this offseason felt like the time to really get aggre sive and put quality pieces around Herbert to give him the best chance to succeed under McDaniel.  But L.A. hasn't done that yet.  Why? Your gue s is as good as mine.  More NFL news:  Tanner Rowell Jersey
