1. Los Angeles Chargers
Speaking of bumps and bruises, will the Los Angeles Chargers defense be the same without Jesse Minter? It’s the biggest question heading into the 2026 campaign, and the fact that they haven’t added anyone else, other than re-signing Khalil Mack, is concerning. Tuli Tuipulotu is set not only for a record-breaking deal, but also for a record-breaking season overall. They can’t afford to lean all responsibility on him once Mack retires, so it’d be beneficial to bring in Highsmith as the new Mack/Joey Bosa era.
