With NFL teams busy with making the last minute push in acquiring the best players to help their team in the long haul of the season,  the Chargers got an upgrade at the OL position, and acquired Trevor Penning from the Saints. This  much needed offensive line that the Chargers really desperately need.  In exchange, the Chargers sent the Saints a 2027 sixth-round pick. 

    Trevor Penning provides the team flexibility as he spent the first two seasons of his career at left tackle before switching to right tackle in 2024. Trevor Penning could play anywhere the Chargers need him on the Offensive Line. With an already talented roster with Alt, Slater, Pipkins and Becton, the Chargers OL got much better with the addition of Trevor Penning at the NFL trade deadline.  

     Though some critics have doubts on Penning, he is a solid block at offense that the Chargers got from the Saints. Head Coach Jim Harbaugh, Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman and offensive line coach Mike Devlin all say that the trade deadline really helps boost the team going forward. 

With the Chargers currently 6-3, the trade for Penning really helps the team remain in control in the AFC playoff race as well as in the AFC West. The trade also provides more depth for the team going forward as they have more pieces to move any player if they get injured. The Chargers are hoping that the trade deadline pickup will be the boost the Chargers need to win their first AFC West division title since 2009!!

The Chargers are now much more talented on paper, and the trade for Penning at the trade deadline really shows that the team is going for it.
