Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers are ready to start a new era with Jim Harbaugh. After the head coach fulfilled his dream of giving Michigan a national championship, the next challenge is to dethrone <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> in the AFC West.



However, it’s not going to be an easy task as many players left the team due to salary cap issues. The offense will be decimated without Mike Williams, Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler.



This is one of the most interesting rebuilding processes in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, but, the positive vibes might be gone after Herbert suffered a serious injury during the first days of training camp. 



<h2>How serious is Justin Herbert’s injury?</h2>



According to a report from Adam Schefter, Justin Herbert has a right foot injury which has been diagnosed as plantar fascia. He has to use a walking boot for at least two weeks, but, the worrying situation for the Los Angeles Chargers is that the quarterback might not be completely healthy during the entire 2024 season.


 

 


“They believe he should be ready for the regular season opener, but, this is not how you want to start your summer. This is the type of injury that stays with the player for a long period of time. He may be back for the regular season opener. That may be the expectation, but he is going to be playing through some discomfort in that foot, I think, potentially, for the whole season.”

During this offseason, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/austin-ekeler" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Austin Ekeler</a> decided to leave the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Chargers</a> and sign with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/washington-commanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington Commanders</a>. Despite what everyone might think, he didn’t depart because of money, as he has now revealed the real reason behind this move.



For many football fans, especially those who play Fantasy, Austin Ekeler is definitely one of the best running backs in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. He is also a big threat as a pass catcher, which is why he is aware of the significant value he brings to any team.



In the 2024 NFL season, Ekeler will play for a new team. He decided to accept the offer from the Commanders, ending his 7-year relationship with the Chargers after a successful tenure with the AFC West club.



<h2>Austin Ekeler Opens Up on Why He Decided to Leave the Chargers</h2>



For the past seven years, Austin Ekeler was the best offensive player for the Chargers. The running back was a menace both on the ground and through the air, which is why he secured the starting role for so many seasons.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-chargers-set-to-add-a-top-tier-wide-receiver-to-help-justin-herbert"></div>


Even though Ekeler excelled as the primary weapon of this offense, it seems he didn’t enjoy it at all. The new Commanders player was not comfortable with the workload given, which is why he sought a trade so desperately.



According to the 29-year-old, it was unsustainable for his career to carry the ball 300 times a year. Despite his contract issues, Ekeler wanted to receive some help in the backfield to avoid any more injuries in his career.



“You’re going to get the best version of myself always, no matter what,” Ekeler said, via NFL Media. “There’s been this controversy out there, like, ‘Oh Austin said he doesn’t want 300 carries, cause that’s what the Chargers said.’ I’ve never had that many carries ever. So, I don’t know why everybody’s in an uproar.“

Ekeler clarified that it is not that he doesn’t want to be the primary running back, but the workload was too intense for him, and it seemed like all the responsibility of the offense relied on him.



“It’s not that I don’t want to touch the ball. It’s the way that I’ve had the most production is when I’m able to split between catching and running the ball,” Ekeler said. “That is when I’ve been the most productive, down in the red zone, right out in the field, when I can have both those type of environments.”



<h2>What is Austin Ekeler’s contract with the Commanders?</h2>



Austin Ekeler was not able to secure a contract extension with the Los Angeles Chargers this year, which is why the AFC West club parted ways with him this offseason.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-chargers-sign-potential-star-running-back-to-help-justin-herbert"></div>


The Commanders needed a running back, and Ekeler saw a great opportunity to continue his career in the NFC East. The player signed a two-year, $8.4 million contract with Washington this offseason.

This offseason, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Chargers</a> made a lot of changes in their offense. For that reason, they are ready to improve <a href="https://bolavip.com/eçn/topic/justin-herbert" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Herbert’s</a> offense by adding a top-tier wide receiver who is patiently waiting in the free agency market.



The Chargers will feature several new faces for the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jim-harbaugh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jim Harbaugh</a> has joined the AFC West team as its new head coach, and the roster has undergone huge changes this offseason.



Mike Williams and Keenan Allen have departed Los Angeles to join the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-bears" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chicago Bears</a>, respectively. As a result, the front office is actively seeking to add a new receiver and is already exploring various options.



<h2>Report: Chargers are exploring to add a new receiver to help Justin Herbert</h2>



With the departure of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, Justin Herbert finds himself in need of a new top-wide receiver for his offense. The quarterback was left without a WR1, but the team may have just found a solution.



According to ESPN, the Chargers have shown interest in acquiring Tyler Boyd. The wide receiver has become a free agent this year after the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a> opted not to offer him a new contract.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240129#BUS#100958"></div>


Alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/odell-beckham-jr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Odell Beckham Jr.</a>, Boyd is widely regarded as one of the best wide receivers available in the free agency. Also, he would be a cheap option for the Chargers to bring an experienced player to help Justin Herbert.



Unfortunately, the Chargers are facing competition in their pursuit of Boyd. According to reports, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tennessee-titans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tennessee Titans</a> are also closely monitoring the 29-year-old wideout, with plans to meet with him this week.



<h2>Who are the wide receivers of the Los Angeles Chargers?</h2>



Once boasting a remarkable corps of wide receivers, the Los Angeles Chargers are now facing challenges at this position. It’s imperative for them to address this matter promptly, but in the meantime, they must make the most of their current resources.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jim-harbaugh-reveals-who-is-the-best-quarterback-in-the-2024-nfl-draft"></div>


As of today, Quentin Johnson and Joshua Palmer are the primary receivers for the Los Angeles Chargers. In the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a>, the team selected Ladd McConkey in the 2nd round, and Brenden Rice and Cornelius Johnson in the 7th round.

The Los Angeles Chargers have never won the Super Bowl and, after many years of failure with Brandon Staley, Jim Harbaugh arrives from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> as the possible answer to dethrone <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>.



However, it’s not going to be an easy task. The problems with the salary cap meant a lot of stars had to be gone. For example, wide receivers Mike Williams and Keenan Allen.



Of course, the biggest reason to believe in a promising future is Justin Herbert, one of the most talented quarterbacks in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>. If the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers">Chargers</a> surround him with the right talent, anything is possible.



Right now, the 2024 Draft will be the path in this new rebuilding process but, just a few days before that event, Harbaugh just made a huge move to sign a great running back.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240418_BUS_119848_jimharbaugh-1024x576_1eb39c96.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-98455" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083617/jimharbaugh-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083617/jimharbaugh-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083617/jimharbaugh-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083617/jimharbaugh-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083617/jimharbaugh.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jim Harbaugh just got a big player to help Justin Herbert (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Chargers sign JK Dobbins</h2>



JK Dobbins will sign a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers after playing four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. The running back was a second-round pick in the 2020 Draft, but injuries were the key factor to not fulfill his potential.


 

 


Now, Dobbins get a shot at redemption as the Chargers needed desperately a replacement for Austin Ekeler who is gone after signing with the Washington Commanders. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240214#BUS#104805"></div>


In 2023, JK Dobbins’ season ended abruptly in Week 1 against the Houston Texans with a torn Achilles. Even in this scenario, Harbaugh believes that, if healthy, Dobbins might become a star in the NFL.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Chargers</a> are set to have a notable head coach this year. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jim-harbaugh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jim Harbaugh</a>, who decided to depart from the Michigan Wolverines, will join the AFC West club. However, he may not be entirely ready to leave behind his college football team.



Recent years have been challenging for the Chargers. Despite boasting a highly talented roster, the club has struggled to compete in the AFC West due to inadequate coaching over the past few seasons.



With this in mind, the team’s front office made the decision to bring in one of the top head coaches of recent years. Jim Harbaugh is returning to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, poised to lead the team to greatness once and for all.



<h2>Ex-Michigan standout believes Harbaugh will draft several of his former players</h2>



Jim Harbaugh had an exceptional tenure with the Michigan Wolverines. Earlier this year, the college football team clinched the National Championship, a testament to the coach’s ability to build a remarkable roster of talented players.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240203#BUS#101891"></div>


Now, Harbaugh is poised to coach another exceptional roster, this time in the NFL. The Los Angeles Chargers have entrusted him with a new opportunity in professional football, with hopes that he will immediately guide them to success.



However, Harbaugh hasn’t forgotten about his college football team. The coach recently said that J.J. McCarthy, his former player, is the best quarterback in the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a>. This statement might offer insight into his plans for the upcoming draft.



Roman Wilson, former wide receiver of the Wolverines, believes that Harbaugh will draft several of his former players for the Chargers. According to him, the coach intends to replicate the formula of success that worked for him in college football, but this time in the NFL.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240412_BUS_118483_jimharbaugh-1024x576_59409a1b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jim Harbaugh, former head coach of the Michigan Wolverines" class="wp-image-84395" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jim Harbaugh, former head coach of the Michigan Wolverines</figcaption></figure>



“I wouldn’t be surprised if like all nine of us end up going [to the Chargers],” Wilson said, referring to the team’s nine draft picks, per Fox Sports. “But seriously, like at least five or six. I think he’s going to take a lot of us.”



Wilson could potentially be drafted by the Chargers this year. The team is aiming to surround Justin Herbert with talented players, and while Roman may not be the top wide receiver in this year’s class, his previous experience with Harbaugh could pave the way for him to join Los Angeles.



<h2>What are the needs of the Los Angeles Chargers in the 2024 NFL Draft?</h2>



As of today, the Los Angeles Chargers have nine picks for the 2024 NFL Draft. In the first round, the AFC West team is positioned at No. 5, which is an excellent spot to select a top prospect.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240129#BUS#100958"></div>


With Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, and Austin Ekeler departing the Chargers this offseason, the team needs to address multiple positions in the draft this year. In addition to drafting a wide receiver and a running back, they must also focus on fortifying the defensive line and secondary.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="6619b0be2a34d42c6b29fd16" data-title="Should the Chargers select a wide receiver at No. 5 in the 2024 NFL Draft?" data-options="2"></div>

According to ESPN, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers">Los Angeles Chargers</a> have shown interest in free agent wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who spent last season at Arrowhead but was released by the Chiefs shortly after Super Bowl LVIII in February.



The 29-year-old spent the last two seasons in Kansas City, and while he failed to deliver consistency, he did provide some key moments, such as catching a touchdown in the most recent <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> win over the San Francisco 49ers.



However, his release was just business. Having signed a three-year, $30 million deal in 2022, parting with Valdes-Scantling saved the Chiefs nearly $12 million against the 2024 salary cap.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240409_BUS_117626_Marquez-Valdes-Scantling-11-of-the-Kansas-City-Chiefs-makes-a-catch-against-the-Baltimore-Ravens-du-1024x576_21621382.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Marquez Valdes-Scantling #11 of the Kansas City Chiefs makes a catch against the Baltimore Ravens during the fourth quarter of the AFC Championship Game at M&amp;T Bank Stadium on January 28, 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland." class="wp-image-102785" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Marquez-Valdes-Scantling-11-of-the-Kansas-City-Chiefs-makes-a-catch-against-the-Baltimore-Ravens-du-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Marquez-Valdes-Scantling-11-of-the-Kansas-City-Chiefs-makes-a-catch-against-the-Baltimore-Ravens-du-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Marquez-Valdes-Scantling-11-of-the-Kansas-City-Chiefs-makes-a-catch-against-the-Baltimore-Ravens-du-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Marquez-Valdes-Scantling-11-of-the-Kansas-City-Chiefs-makes-a-catch-against-the-Baltimore-Ravens-du-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/Marquez-Valdes-Scantling-11-of-the-Kansas-City-Chiefs-makes-a-catch-against-the-Baltimore-Ravens-du.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Marquez Valdes-Scantling #11 of the Kansas City Chiefs makes a catch against the Baltimore Ravens during the fourth quarter of the AFC Championship Game at M&amp;T Bank Stadium on January 28, 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland.</figcaption></figure>



The Chargers, who are division rivals with the Chiefs in the AFC West, are looking to add at WR after moving on from Keenan Allen and Mike Williams to get under the cap. A 2x Super Bowl champ who also caught passes from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-rodgers">Aaron Rodgers</a> in Green Bay, Valdes-Scantling can offer enough experience for a fair price in this scenario.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-super-bowl-champ-with-mahomes-at-chiefs-explains-why-he-left-kansas-city"></div>


<h2>The Chiefs WR room for 2024</h2>



With Valdes-Scantling out, the Chiefs made sure to bring in another player at his position and that’s how they landed wideout Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, an interesting option available in the open market.



With the former Baltimore Ravens playmaker on board, the Chiefs strengthened a wide receiver room that also features Rashee Rice, who proved a reliable target for Mahomes in his rookie season in 2023.



<ul><li>Justin Watson</li><li>Montrell Washington</li><li>Kadarius Toney</li><li>Shi Smith</li><li>Justyn Ross</li><li>Rashee Rice</li><li>Nikko Remigio</li><li>Cornell Powell</li><li>Skyy Moore</li><li>Anthony Miller</li><li>Jacob Copeland</li><li>Marquise Brown</li></ul>



These wideouts currently appear active on the Chiefs’ roster for 2024, but we’ll have to wait and see who make the cut in training camp.

A few years ago, Harbaugh came close to seizing glory with the San Francisco 49ers but lost the title game in a thriller against his brother John and the Baltimore Ravens.



Now, the challenge will be enormous in the AFC West considering that the clear favorites are the reigning champions, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, with a stellar roster that includes <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a>, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones.

According to Jim Harbaugh, J.J. McCarthy is the best quarterback available in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft over names like Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels or Michael Penix Jr.







“I’ve said it before. I think he is the best quarterback in the draft (J.J. McCarthy). That’s just what I think. It’s my opinion. Of all the quarterbacks that are in the draft, there are great quarterbacks in the Draft, but I think he plays quarterback the best of any quarterback in the Draft.”

Of course, there’s a big connection between Harbaugh and McCarthy as they worked together in that extraordinary championship run with the Michigan Wolverines. That’s why the head coach also praised his Pro Day.



“I’ve been to a lot of Pro Day workouts and watched quarterbacks throw. That was the best I’ve ever seen a quarterback do at a Pro Day. I mean, not only was feet great and the individual drills, but then he started throwing and it was like every throw was right there. I thought our receivers did a great job, too. They all had a great day, but that was the best throwing day I’ve ever seen, and then to hear coaches and GMs come up to me and say, ‘Hey, great job with J.J.&apos;”

Who is the best quarterback available of 2024 NFL Draft according to Jim Harbaugh? - Bolavip US

Jim Harbaugh is ready for a new opportunity in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> with the Los Angeles Chargers. After winning the national championship for Michigan in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a>, the head coach will attempt to conquer a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> with a franchise quarterback like Justin Herbert.



A few years ago, Harbaugh came close to seizing glory with the San Francisco 49ers but lost the title game in a thriller against his brother John and the Baltimore Ravens.



Now, the challenge will be enormous in the AFC West considering that the clear favorites are the reigning champions, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, with a stellar roster that includes <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a>, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones.

<h2>Who is the best quarterback available in the 2024 NFL Draft?</h2>



According to Jim Harbaugh, J.J. McCarthy is the best quarterback available in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft over names like Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels or Michael Penix Jr.


 

 


“I’ve said it before. I think he is the best quarterback in the draft (J.J. McCarthy). That’s just what I think. It’s my opinion. Of all the quarterbacks that are in the draft, there are great quarterbacks in the Draft, but I think he plays quarterback the best of any quarterback in the Draft.”

Andy Reid confirms if he&#039;ll retire after Super Bowl win with Chiefs

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a> are about to enter a new era. For the first time in more than two decades, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bill Belichick </a>won’t be calling the shots in Foxboro, with Jerod Mayo taking the reins of the team.



However, things won’t be easy for Belichick’s successor. The team has big needs on both sides of the field, and while they’ve been active in free agency, they still need to do more.



Fortunately for him, Robert Kraft and the front office will spare no effort to try and get back to contention. Notably, they could turn to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Chargers</a> for some help.



<h2>The Patriots Are In Touch With The Chargers</h2>



“The Patriots have checked in with the Chargers on obvious trade/cut candidates during this week’s open negotiating period, sources told the Herald,” reported Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240313_BUS_111200_Jerod-Mayo-head-coach-of-the-New-England-Patriots-1024x576_e23dea5d.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jerod Mayo, head coach of the New England Patriots" class="wp-image-98873" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083547/Jerod-Mayo-head-coach-of-the-New-England-Patriots-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083547/Jerod-Mayo-head-coach-of-the-New-England-Patriots-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083547/Jerod-Mayo-head-coach-of-the-New-England-Patriots-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083547/Jerod-Mayo-head-coach-of-the-New-England-Patriots-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/01/28083547/Jerod-Mayo-head-coach-of-the-New-England-Patriots.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jerod Mayo, head coach of the New England Patriots</figcaption></figure>



The Chargers desperately need to shed off some money, and with a new coach in John Harbaugh, some mainstays could be on their way out of the organization pretty soon:



“The Chargers are more than $25 million over the salary cap, and they must be compliant before the NFL’s new league year begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. Their most obvious trade/cut candidates are wide receivers Mike Williams and Keenan Allen and edge defenders Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack,” added the report.



As their roster stands now, the Patriots have glaring needs at both wide receiver and EDGE rushers, so it makes perfect sense that they’re keeping tabs on these players. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-rumors-patriots-target-could-snub-new-england-to-play-with-mac-jones"></div>


This team desperately needs to make some big moves if they want to go back to contention any time soon, especially with the New York Jets getting Aaron Rodgers back, and the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills looking like legitimate Super Bowl contenders out of the AFC East as well.

<h2>Four star running backs won’t be franchise tagged</h2>



According to the latest reports around the NFL, four notable running backs are not expected to receive franchise tags. Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard and Austin Ekeler. 


 

 


Certainly, this list has sparked a lot of controversy, reflecting that the majority of NFL teams do not value the running back position. It is important to note that these four players are still under 30 years old.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240215#BUS#105236"></div>


Furthermore, we cannot forget that Derrick Henry will also be available after the end of his tenure with the Tennessee Titans. However, the big unknown is whether any of them will receive the money they deserve.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jim-harbaugh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jim Harbaugh</a> has recently arrived in Los Angeles and is already preparing the roster for the upcoming 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. The head coach has now addressed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/austin-ekeler" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Austin Ekeler’s</a> situation and his potential continuity with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chargers</a>.



The Los Angeles Chargers are desperate for a massive change this year. Even though they have an amazing roster, the team has struggled to compete in recent years, mostly due to its coaching staff.



A few weeks ago, the club announced the arrival of Jim Harbaugh, one of the most sought-after coaches in football. He is prepared to bring some joy to the Chargers and help them compete in the AFC West.



<h2>Jim Harbaugh gets real on the continuity of Austin Ekeler</h2>



The Chargers have finally found the elite head coach they have been looking for years. it was not easy to bring Jim Harbaugh back to the NFL, but a lucrative contract convinced him to return.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240125#BUS#100087"></div>


Of course, money was not the sole factor that lured Harbaugh to sign with the Chargers. Fortunately for the team, they have a highly competitive roster, and it seems that all these players need is some guidance from a top coach to succeed.



One of those playmakers is Austin Ekeler. The running back has been a remarkable asset for the Chargers, but now his future is uncertain as he’s set to become a free agent soon.



During the 2023 season, there were rumors that the Chargers wanted to part ways with Ekeler. He even experienced a loss of workload during the campaign. However, Jim Harbaugh doesn’t want him to go anywhere.



“If things go well, it’s going to be because of guys like Austin Ekeler and the players,” Harbaugh told AP. “I like Austin Ekeler. We’re going to have a huge emphasis on the run game, and we gotta block better up front. He’s a tremendous back and we’d love to have him on the team next year. But yeah, [if] things go well, it’s kind of because of all the players. If it goes bad, it’s because I’m a bad manager, I’m a bad coach.”



As for Ekeler, he has a lot of doubts about the free agency market. On his own podcast, the player shared that he doesn’t know what to expect from it, but that he would like to land in a team that recognizes his value.

Even though he’s set to become a free agent, it seems like Harbaugh will do everything to bring him back to LA for the 2024 season. However, Ekeler wants a lucrative deal, but unfortunately, several running backs have struggled recently with this matter.



<h2>Is Austin Ekeler still a top running back?</h2>



Austin Ekeler, 29, has been a remarkable player for the Chargers in recent years. Despite a “less-than-stellar” year, he registered 1,064 scrimmage yards, marking his third consecutive season surpassing the 1,000-yard mark.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240203#BUS#101808"></div>


Unfortunately, running backs are currently facing a tough situation. Teams are hesitant to offer them lucrative deals, with top names such as Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard, and of course Ekeler, hitting the free agency market this offseason.

Jim Harbaugh is ready for the biggest challenge of his career as the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers.

Though the Atlanta Falcons had a lot of interest in the former quarterback, the Chargers held a second interview with Harbaugh and didn’t let him leave the building. He is the chosen one to develop a future star like Justin Herbert. 



Jim Harbaugh arrives to Los Angeles after a historic national championship in&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">college football</a>&nbsp;with&nbsp;Michigan. That’s why his new target is to win a&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a>.

As a result of the move, the AFC West is stacked with tremendous coaches like Harbaugh, Andy Reid and Sean Payton.

Renowned for his talent evaluation skills, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jim-harbaugh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jim Harbaugh</a>, the head coach of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-chargers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Chargers</a>, has offered valuable advice to teams seeking a quarterback in the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a>, guiding them on the ideal selection.



The 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Draft will feature remarkable talents for the quarterback position. Numerous teams are in need of a top player to lead their offense, but not all will be successful in securing one.



Despite the Los Angeles Chargers not needing a quarterback, Jim Harbaugh didn’t hesitate to discuss who should be drafted first. The head coach is aware of an underrated player available—one he knows quite well.



<h2>Jim Harbaugh advices NFL teams to draft Michigan’s quarterback</h2>



Jim Harbaugh doesn’t want to be the sole member in the NFL from the Michigan Wolverines who won the National Championship this year. The head coach is advising all teams to consider adding his former quarterback during the 2024 Draft.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240129#BUS#100958"></div>


The new head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers had an amazing year with the Wolverines, securing victory in the most recent edition of the National Championship. Nevertheless, his feat was also thanks to the incredible performance of J.J. McCarthy.



The quarterback is listed as one of the top prospects for the 2024 NFL Draft. Last year was definitely his best in college, with 240 passes completed out of 332 attempts, 2,991 passing yards and 22 touchdowns.



For this reason, Harbaugh believes that McCarthy should be the first quarterback drafted this year. In an interview with Fox Sports, the head coach praised his former player and advised all teams to use their first pick to select him.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240203_BUS_101891_jimharbaugh-1024x576_b6ef953c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Jim Harbaugh, former head coach of the Michigan Wolverines" class="wp-image-84395" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/jimharbaugh.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jim Harbaugh, former head coach of the Michigan Wolverines</figcaption></figure>



When Colin Cowherd asked Harbaugh about McCarthy’s hidden skills, he responded, ‘Arm talent, athleticism…’ and continued, ‘Don’t be surprised if and when he’s the number one quarterback off the board. That’s my prediction right now.’



<h2>2024 NFL Draft: Which teams could pick a quarterback in the first round?</h2>



The 2024 NFL Draft is around the corner, and teams are gearing up to select the best available players. Naturally, quarterbacks are in high demand, with numerous teams in need of this key position.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240126#BUS#100259"></div>


In the first round, teams like the Bears, Commanders, Patriots, Falcons, Jets, Vikings, Broncos, and Raiders could opt for a quarterback. It is anticipated that the draft order might change based on their specific needs.

In response to the highly talented roster, the front office opted for an elite coach to mentor the team. With Jim Harbaugh now at the helm, there’s a palpable sense that the Chargers are poised to transform into a formidable and competitive club.



<h2>Jim Harbaugh reveals his initial thoughts on Justin Herbert</h2>



The Chargers seem to have secured the coach they’ve been seeking for years. Jim Harbaugh, returning to the league after a decade, will lead a highly talented roster, and fans are really excited about it.

Despite having one of the most promising rosters in the league, the AFC West team has struggled due to recent coaching challenges. The players have been unable to showcase their true potential, highlighting the significance of effective guidance.



With Harbaugh’s arrival, huge changes are anticipated. The experienced head coach recently clinched the National Championship with the Michigan Wolverines, and that’s why several teams tried to hire him this year.



Now, Harbaugh is starting to see the talent he’s going to coach. He has talked about Justin Herbert, praising the quarterback and exciting the team’s fans with his thoughts about him.



“I met him (Herbert), and Derwin James, and — pro’s pros these guys — and Keenan Allen,” Harbaugh said on Sunday ahead of the AFC Championship Game. “But I was a little starstruck, meeting Justin.”

Harbaugh is aware of the outstanding roster at his disposal, recognizing Herbert’s potential to lead them to success. While the quarterback has already demonstrated his worth, the anticipation is that he will unleash his full talent under the guidance of his new coach.



<h2>What is Justin Herbert’s contract with the Los Angeles Chargers?</h2>



For many fans of the Chargers, Justin Herbert stands as a potential savior. The highly skilled quarterback has showcased his elite status, and the franchise’s future hinges on his continued success.

Several teams have opted to hire a new head coach for the 2024 season. Last year, the Chargers parted ways with Brandon Staley, prompting an immediate search for his replacement to lead the club.



It didn’t take too long for them to find a new head coach. The Chargers were able to seduce Jim Harbaugh with a lucrative deal, and he’s ready to make the team compete in the AFC West again.



<h2>Will the Chargers face the Ravens in the 2024 NFL season?</h2>

Even though John was a defensive back at Miami University, he didn’t continue playing once he graduated in 1984. On the other hand, his brother Jim did play in the NFL as a quarterback for the Bears, Colts, Ravens, Chargers, and Panthers.
