Chargers roster checkup: Which positions need a free-agency revitalization?

LA Times  

They added everything from a Pro Bowl edge rusher to a punter, signed everything from six defensive starters to a long snapper. The 2022 offseason was an active and pricey one for the Chargers, the team committing $78.172 million in fully guaranteed money to 11 free agents who became significant contributors. The Chargers rebuilt their defense and special teams and added Gerald Everett and DeAndre Carter as options for quarterback Justin Herbert. Now, with the 2023 free-agent negotiating period set to open Monday, they look to continue to push coming off a season in which they finished 10-7 and returned to the playoffs. The Chargers recently reworked four contracts to give themselves some financial relief for the start of the new league year.
