Chargers new GM Joe Hortiz says, “The whole, ‘It’s a fair trade. It’s a wash,’ I don’t think that’s a trade that we’re interested in.”
Former USC quarterback Caleb Williams going first to Chicago next week is the greatest certainty entering the 2024 NFL draft. And the next surest thing? The Chargers trading out of the No. 5 spot, at least if the overwhelming outside speculation is correct. In an endeavor that can defy logic and prediction, the public consensus has reached a point where new general manager Joe Hortiz dealing his first career selection in order to add draft capital seems to be a foregone conclusion.
It’s a wash,’ I don’t think that’s a trade that we’re interested in.” Whatever happens, the Chargers will be looking for the best player available — regardless of position — when they do pick, Hortiz said. In his previous job with Baltimore, he said he learned that teams are “never one player away, ever.” The idea, instead, is to build depth, something the Chargers have lacked in recent seasons while boasting a more top-heavy roster.
