Bolt Beat's G.C. Bellchamber argues that the Los Angeles Chargers should refuse to trade three key players ahead of the November 10 deadline, despite interest from around the league. While general manager Joe Hortiz has reportedly signaled that the winless Chargers are not interested in selling, other teams may still target prominent roster pieces.
