The Los Angeles Chargers are reevaluating their roster after a disappointing 32-12 loss to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card Round. With significant needs on offense, the defense is also a concern, particularly with the futures of Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa in question. Mack is contemplating retirement, while Bosa may be a candidate for release due to injury concerns.
Reports suggest the Chargers could pursue a trade for Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons. David Latham from Last Word On Sports highlights that while the Chargers have a solid pass rush, they desperately need an edge defender. Given Bosa's potential departure and Mack's uncertain future, Parsons could be a strong fit.
The Cowboys may consider trading Parsons, especially after his dissatisfaction with the team's management decisions, including the firing of head coach Mike McCarthy. With just one year left on his contract and the Cowboys facing financial constraints due to large contracts for Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, a trade could bring a significant return for Parsons. The Chargers would benefit greatly from adding a player of his caliber, who had a standout season with 43 tackles and 12 sacks, earning his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl nod.
