The Chargers traded for quarterback Taylor Heinicke after their preseason concluded.
On Wednesday the Atlanta Falcons traded quarterback Taylor Heinicke to the Los Angeles Chargers, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini and Josh Kendall.
Heinicke would be named backup quarterback for the Falcons in favor of Desmond Ridder who was recently released by the Arizona Cardinals. Ridder's inability to operate the Falcon's offense led to Heinicke finishing out the season as their lead signal-caller. Immediately after the 2023-24 NFL season concluded the Falcons would relieve head coach Arthur Smith of his duties. Raheem Morris was named head coach and in his first order of business, the former Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator signed free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins in a blockbuster move.
