The Los Angeles Chargers’ trip to the NFL combine this year comes with a barrage of must-see news.
Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh and general manager Joe Hortiz were at the combine and giving media interviews. They dropped key information on cut candidates, contract extension candidates and draft strategy. Offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel did the same.
Beyond that, there are key positions of need to know for the Chargers, so here’s a quick review of the news and buzz to know around the big event.

A look at the major needs for the Chargers as they heavily scout these areas. One, of course, is the offensive line, where McDaniel will enforce a new blocking scheme. The entire interior needs to be blown up, too.
A live-updating look at the list of reported NFL combine meetings for the Chargers. As expected, offensive linemen and defenders pepper the early returns.
There are some massive storylines for the Chargers at the combine. Key comments from coaches, free agent reports and more have and will continue to dominate the discussions.
An NFL reporter has finally pulled back the curtain on two big names the Chargers are expected to let go in cap-saving moves. And no, one of them isn’t center Bradley Bozeman, who retired this week.
Speaking of cut candidates, Hortiz actually had a somewhat-hostile exchange with a reporter while getting asked about the Chargers’ top cut candidate in the coming weeks. Fans won't have as hard time guessing who, though.
The Chargers were surprisingly open about the details around contract extension talks for a very specific free agent. Whether they actually re-sign the player is almost impossible to say.
