The Chargers and Panthers made a move out of left field last week, agreeing to swap offensive linemen. Los Angeles received guard Trai Turner, while Carolina got offensive tackle in return.
The move sent shockwaves because while Okung was considered a cut candidate to clear up some salary cap space, no one thought they were going to trade him.
But like Turner said in a recent interview with Sirius XM NFL Radio, the NFL is a business.
Turner, the five-time Pro Bowl, was surprised when he found out that he was shipped, but he is embracing it and is happy to take his talents to the West Coast.
The trade will become complete when the new league year begins on March 18.
