Chargers Trade Proposal Brings Ideal No. 2 Receiver to Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Chargers are still on the lookout for offensive playmakers. While they made some moves in free agency, including signing Najee Harris and re-signing veteran wide receiver Mike Williams, they still need more weapons to complement Ladd McConkey.

With the upcoming draft and the Chargers holding the No. 22 pick, there’s a strong chance they could add a promising young player to the mix. Additionally, with ten picks in this draft, the Chargers have the flexibility to make trades if they choose.

One trade idea proposed by Travis Wakeman of Sporting News involves the Chargers sending their 2025 fifth-round pick to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for wide receiver Alec Pierce.

While the Colts might seek more in return for Pierce, Wakeman believes this is a fair offer. With ten draft picks, the Chargers can still make a move like this and continue to build their roster. Pierce, who will turn 25 in May, has significant upside. Over three seasons with the Colts, he has caught 110 passes for 1,931 yards and 11 touchdowns, with a standout ability to make plays down the field.

Given that the Colts’ receiving corps is crowded with players like Michael Pittman Jr., Adonai Mitchell, and Josh Downs, adding Pierce to the Chargers would provide the perfect explosive threat for their offense.
