Joe Thomas predicts Chargers to make pair of splash moves in free agency

The free agency frenzy is in full effect.

The Chargers have been fairly quiet on Monday as we are hours into the legal tampering period.

While Los Angeles has yet to make an acquisition, speculations and predictions continue to be made.

Former NFL offensive tackle and NFL Network analyst Joe Thomas is the latest notable to project what the team could do.

“Don’t be surprised if the LA Chargers make two big splashes here during free agency,” Thomas said.

The first is one that’s been brought up quite a bit, with that being the franchise signing quarterback Tom Brady.

But since the 42-year old will need some protection, Thomas wouldn’t be surprised if Los Angeles trades for and signs offensive tackle Trent Williams to the monstrous contract extension that he is desiring.

The Chargers currently have $49.9 million in available salary cap space, which is the most that they’ve had in years. But both players mentioned are going to require top dollar.

If Los Angeles was to make a move to acquire Brady and Williams, the team likely wouldn’t have enough money to re-sign their own players or make other acquisitions in free agency.
