Right guard Mekhi Becton, whom they signed in the offseason, has struggled, too, and voiced frustration about how the team has managed him,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/47454831\/2026-nfl-offseason-guide-every-team-priorities-free-agents-draft-predictions\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN insider Kris Rhim wrote.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">ESPN analyst Aaron Schatz believes the team could look to sign Pittsburgh Steelers guard Isaac Seumalo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cThe Chargers will blow their free agency budget on Steelers guard Isaac Seumalo,\u201c Schatz wrote. \u201dDespite turning 33 next season, he is still playing at a high level. Seumalo ranked second among all guards with a 96.9% pass block win rate this season.\u201c<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Seumalo, 32, brings Super Bowl experience to the offensive line from his time with the Philadelphia Eagles. After spending the last three seasons with the Steelers, Seumalo could be looking for a chance to move closer to his native Hawaii after spending a decade in Pennsylvania to start his NFL career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Seumalo made his first Pro Bowl back in 2024 with the Steelers and has started 61 games since the 2022 season. The fact that he continues to show up and play at a high level should be reason for the Chargers to zero in their focus on him being the top offseason signing for the team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">BFTB community, what do you think of the possibility of signing Seumalo?
