Full list of Los Angeles Chargers free agents for the 2026 NFL offseason

After their 2025 campaign came to an abrupt end with a 16-3 loss at the hands of the New England Patriots in the Wild Card Round, thus extending their playoff losing streak to four games, the Los Angeles Chargers are now navigating their way through this 2026 offseason.

And what an offseason it could turn out to be in terms of player personnel, as the Bolts have significant salary cap space at their disposal.

That said, however, the reason the Chargers have as much money available to them as they do is that they have 27 players set to become free agents, 21 of whom will be of the unrestricted variety. And we're not talking insignificant talent here, as several key contributors on both sides of the football are in line to test the open market.

The numbers were actually set to be 28 and 22, but the Bolts have already taken care of some business, inking nose tackle Teair Tart to a three-year, $37.5 million extension on January 26.

The most high-profile name of those who remain on the list, of course, is Khalil Mack, who one would assume would be welcomed back if he opts to suit up for a 13th NFL season, although it would likely have to be at a discounted rate. But Mack certainly isn't the only defender the Bolts need to worry about, as the list also includes starters Odafe Oweh, Da'Shawn Hand, and Denzel Perryman.

On the other side of things, there could be some big changes to the offensive line, which simply has to be a thing after the beating Justin Herbert took against New England, as Zion Johnson, Trey Pipkins III, Bobby Hart, Jamaree Salyer, and Trevor Penning are all unrestricted free agents, and Austin Deculus is a restricted free agent.

Other notable names on the offensive side of the ball are Najee Harris, backup quarterback Trey Lance, tight ends Tucker Fisk and Tyler Conklin, and, of course, legendary wideout Keenan Allen. It'll be interesting to see how the Chargers handle Allen, who had a solid regular season with 81 catches for 777 yards and four touchdowns. Getting that kind of production for just $3 million isn't easy, so don't be surprised to see No. 13 back in a Bolts uniform for one more season.
