Los Angeles Chargers: Jags’ DT Taven Bryan

The Chargers have become a competitive force in the AFC this season, and their offense continues to get better with second-year quarterback Justin Herbert. Their defense has been able to hold their own as well, but their defensive line could use improvements.

Former first-rounder Jerry Tillery and Linval Joseph have both been disappointing so far in 2021, and they both may benefit from another big-bodied lineman to come in and rotate snaps with them.

Taven Bryan, a former first-round pick of the Jags, has completely fallen out of the rotation there and his days are numbered with the team. The Jags’ may be better off cutting their losses and recouping some value while trading him to a lineman-needy team like the Chargers.
