The Los Angeles Chargers are contemplating enhancing their roster with controversial wide receiver Diontae Johnson, recently released by the Houston Texans. Analyst Anthony Palacios has identified the Chargers as a possible landing spot for Johnson, emphasizing the need for a consistent receiver to support quarterback Justin Herbert and complement emerging talent Ladd McConkey.

Johnson, a 28-year-old Toledo alum, has had a tumultuous 2024 season, playing for three teams: the Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens, and most recently, the Texans. His reputation has been marred by locker room issues and attitude problems, limiting his opportunities and causing his production to decline significantly since his Pro Bowl season in 2021. While his talent is undeniable, doubts remain about whether Los Angeles is willing to take the risk on a player with a troubled past.
