Trey Lance, ranked #70 in HeyTC AI Rankings after a quiet 2025 with 0 yards, 0 TDs, and a 0.0 passer rating, steps into the Chargers' offseason spotlight as an unrestricted free agent following their 11-6 campaign and playoff push. He flashed potential in three relief appearances (7-of-13 for 90 yards) and earned a regular-season finale start against Denver with Justin Herbert resting, backed by practice squad elevant DJ Uiagalelei, as Harbaugh prioritized health for the wild-card Bolts. Now, amid roster shakeups with UFA stars like Khalil Mack, Keenan Allen, and Najee Harris hitting the market, Lance's future hinges on Harbaugh's vision—re-sign at a bargain $1.2M cap hit or shop elsewhere?—while L.A. eyes O-line bolstering and draft targets to ignite Greg Roman's run-heavy attack for a deeper 2026 playoff run. Fans, brace for drama; this former No. 3 pick could be the Harbaugh gamble that pays off or fades away.
