How will Hand play with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2025?
Los Angeles Chargers Offseason Outlook
The Chargers have had a busy offseason following a return to the NFL Playoffs. Some of the team’s marquee signings this offseason are Running Back Najee Harris, Wide Receiver Mike Williams, and Cornerback Donte Jackson. Los Angeles also re-signed a few key players from last season’s team including Linebacker Khalil Mack and Center Bradley Bozeman.
Hand joins a Chargers defense that includes Safety Derwin James Jr. and Linebacker Denzel Perryman. Los Angeles led the league in points allowed in 2024 and was especially strong against the pass.
Final Thoughts
Los Angeles has done a great upgrading its roster on both sides of the ball this offseason. Hand will look to build off a strong season and contribute to what was one of the league’s best units in 2025.
