LA’s free agent signings from last offseason return looking to build on an up-and-down 2022 season. Joseph-Day, signed to a 3 year, $24 million deal last March, posted career bests in total tackles (56), tackles for loss (9), and quarterback hits (6). Johnson, who’s in the second year of his 2 year, $14 million deal, had 22 total tackles and was arguably the Chargers’ best run defender before being lost for the season with a torn MCL and fractured kneecap.
Fox also returns after briefly testing free agency following a career best season. His 6.5 sacks, 38 total tackles, and 11 quarterback hits were all career highs, while his 8 tackles for loss tied a career high. The Chargers re-signed him to a 2 year, $7.25 million deal in March, widely considered to be a discount for the level of play he provided.
2022 fifth round pick Ogbonnia will return from a ruptured patellar tendon in 2023, but reports indicate he is already back on the field for LA’s offseason program. Hinton and Moa were both added to the roster midseason to compensate for injuries. Hinton had 3 tackles in 4 games, while Moa had 2 in 2 games. They will both be competing for a roster spot or practice squad slot.
