Should the Chargers go after the former Super Bowl champion as he prepares for his return?

THE Los Angeles Chargers opted to stick with the roster they have for this first year under Jim Harbaugh, without moving at the NFL trade deadline.

But that doesn’t mean they won’t be added to the list at all.

An interesting name also just popped up in free agency. According to Aaron Wilson from KPRC2, pass-rusher Jason Pierre-Paul is ready to find a new team for the second half of the season.

Interesting, indeed. Pierre-Paul is 35 years old but has 94.5 sacks on his resume, as well as an All-Pro nod and two Super Bowl triumphs (XLVI, LV). He was last with a team in 2023 as he bounced around practice squads and his last heavy workload came in 2022 in Baltimore when he appeared in 14 games (526 shots) and recorded three sacks.

The addition of pass-rush is one of the points of speculation around the team right now as Khalil Mack battles injury And Joey Bosa continues to have limited snaps.

The Chargers like rotation pieces like Tuli Tuipulotu, obviously, and Jesse Minter’s elite defense will likely continue to excel regardless. But keeping an eye on cheap outside additions capable of impacting the rotation like Pierre-Paul would make sense heading into a brutal end to the season.
