Los Angeles Chargers Rumor Offers Surprising Update About Possible Fire Sale With Week 6 Loss

Despite entering Week 6 with an 0-5 record, the Los Angeles Chargers are reportedly not planning to hold a trade fire sale ahead of the upcoming deadline. NFL insider Tom Pelissero reports that general manager Joe Hortiz has informed multiple inquiring teams that the organization is not interested in trading away players, maintaining hope that their 2026 season can still be salvaged.

Pelissero noted that despite interest in players like Khalil Mack and Quentin Johnston, the Chargers believe their season remains salvageable. The team is adapting to new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's system under head coach Jim Harbaugh, and management is encouraged that their last three defeats were decided by just one score.
