The Chargers traded a conditional sixth-round draft pick to the Atlanta Falcons for Taylor Heinicke, adding starting experience to their quarterback room.
The mystery behind the Chargers keeping just two quarterbacks on their roster has been solved. A day after reducing the roster to 53 players and retaining just two quarterbacks, Justin Herbert and Easton Stick, the Chargers sent a conditional sixth-round draft pick to the Atlanta Falcons for veteran Taylor Heinicke. The traded was first reported by the Athletic. Entering his seventh season, Heinicke will be joining his fifth NFL team.
He recorded 137 tackles, two interceptions returned for touchdowns and two fumble recoveries. He joins a secondary that includes his former Titans teammate, Kristian Fulton, who will start opposite Asante Samuel Jr. Other cornerbacks include Ja'Sir Taylor, Deane Leonard, Cam Hart and Tarheeb Still. The Chargers also added a running back Wednesday by claiming Hassan Haskins, chosen by the Titans in the fourth round of the 2022 draft and waived Tuesday.
