The Chargers could be a landing spot for Michael Thomas

The departures of both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams have suddenly left the Chargers' wide receiver situation looking dire. The expectation is that 2023 first-round pick Quentin Johnston will blossom into being the guy, but having Thomas as a veteran safety valve behind him wouldn't hurt. With former third-round pick Joshua Palmer and the speedy Derius Davis being the only other wideouts on the roster, Thomas could immediately battle it out for the second starting wideout role.
