The Athletic's Daniel Popper Joins To Talk Justin Herbert Hate and DK Metcalf Trade Rumors

Locked On Chargers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Chargers

The Chargers 2024 season was a success, but it didn't feel that way because of their disastrous playoff performance where Justin Herbert faltered under the weight of a flawed roster. Chargers writer Daniel Popper discusses with the guys why he thinks better days are ahead and gives his thoughts on the DK Metcalf rumors. Will Los Angeles be willing to spend their draft capital to bring in a receiver who will command top money? Greg Roman sticking around drew ire from many of the Chargers faithful, but like Herbert was also stuck with flawed personnel. It doesn't excuse questionable play calls but they desperately need an infusion of talent on the interior of the offensive line. On the defensive side the Chargers lucked out with the lack of interest around DC Jesse Minter who will return to the league's top scoring defense.
