Every once in a while, a good idea appears on the internet. I know, I didn't believe it either, but apparently it's true. It can happen to anyone.

This week, it happened to the Chargers. Maybe their 10,000 year curse has ended?! The Good Idea came from Bleacher report, who put together a list of '7 Shocking Trades That Would Impact Playoff Races in 2025,' because who doesn't love simming through the regular season every now and again?
Bleacher Report was kind enough to send a skill player to the Chargers for a Day 3 pick, which, fine – I'm sold. I don't need to hear one single minute more of this argument to sign off on it. But in case you do, here's some of their take.
The Chargers should absolutely take Bleacher Report up on their David Njoku offer
Cleveland Browns receive: 2026 fifth-round pick
Los Angeles Chargers receive: TE David Njoku
"Njoku is only two years removed from his finest season, a Pro Bowl 2023 in which he put up career-high marks of 81 receptions, 882 receiving yards and six touchdowns. While he was on pace to put up similar marks last season, he finished with a 64/505/5 stat line after missing six games due to injury. With Njoku now entering a contract year, the Browns could opt to move on from the 28-year-old—especially if rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. looks ready to step into a prominent role right away. The third-round pick put up a Division I-leading 117 receptions and 1,555 yards at Bowling Green and has the potential to continue posting big receiving numbers at the next level.
The Los Angeles Chargers should come calling if Njoku is up for grabs. The team desperately needs to improve its tight end situation after failing to land an elite prospect in the 2025 draft and currently has an unexciting veteran duo of Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly set to handle most of the work at that position this season. Adding Njoku into the mix would round out L.A.’s blossoming passing offense and potentially make it a force."
"Potentially make it a force" kinda stings, but I get it. The Chargers desperately need a tight end, and Njoku is extremely a tight end. The rest doesn't really matter. What other options do they really have? This would work (probably), be fun (probably), and wouldn't hurt them that much in the longterm (probably). I thought the whole point of Day 3 picks is that they exist to be traded for stars that want to ring chase?
