Yahoo Sports

The Los Angeles Chargers have significantly upgraded this position this offseason.

The Chargers have undergone quite the transformation this offseason, but nowhere is the change more dramatic than at the center. ESPN's Kris Rhim identified center as the most improved position after the roster rebuild . Bradley Bozeman ranked 30th out of 31 qualifying NFL centers in pass block win rate last season (92.

5%). After Bozeman's retirement, the Chargers signed former Commanders center Tyler Biadasz (94. 5%), who ranked 15th in pass block win rate in 2025.

Then L. A. used a second-round pick on Florida's Jake Slaughter, with Harbaugh calling him the "top center in the draft.

" In Year 1, Slaughter will likely be the team's starting left guard, where the Chargers also need help after a weak performance in 2025. Bozeman's struggles contributed significantly to quarterback Justin Herbert being sacked 54 times in 2025. Following the season's end, he officially retired, leaving a gaping hole and a major opportunity for improvement.
