The Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> are trying to put all the weapons they can in line for Justin Herbert. One of those weapons could be Keenan Allen, who is a team legend, but also a free agent, and now the team\u2019s general manager is thinking about bringing him back.<\/p>\n

Hortiz also said Quentin Johnston is not being shopped around<\/a>. Hence, it seems like they would want to keep the roster intact, and maybe add one or two pieces via draft. Justin Herbert has had plenty of setbacks, but the Chargers want to make sure depth in wideouts is not one of them.<\/p>\n

Keenan Allen<\/a> had 81 catches for 777 yards and four touchdowns. He was the second-leading WR on the team, just 12 yards below Ladd McConkey. Even at 33 years old, he is still delivering the goods.<\/p>\n

Ladd McConkey is still the WR1 of the team<\/p>\n

McConkey has two years in the NFL<\/a> and he has plenty of production for such a young career. He has 1,938 yards on 148 receptions and 13 touchdowns. McConkey has those numbers despite suffering a sophomore slump.<\/p>\n

The fact is he should be even better this year. The Chargers hired Mike McDaniel as their offensive coordinator and his scheme could make McConkey one of the most productive wideouts in the NFL. It will be a sight to see.<\/p>\n

The Chargers have lots of pressure on them<\/p>\n

Since getting Justin Herbert<\/a>, this team has had plenty of expectations. First, it was Anthony Lynn and then Brandon Staley. Hence, the team hired a top-tier head coach like Jim Harbaugh. Then, injuries hampered them, mainly in the offensive line.<\/p>\n

Now, they have the O-line, the coach, a star coordinator, and are working on giving Herbert the best weapons they can. With the NFL Draft<\/a> coming, the Chargers have a plethora of options to strengthen the roster.<\/p>\n
