Chargers GM Says He Has Made No Trade Calls on Quentin Johnston

The team is weighing whether to exercise the wideout’s fifth-year option.

Overview

  • General manager Joe Hortiz said he has made zero calls about trading Quentin Johnston and has received none.
  • The front office is still deciding whether to pick up Johnston’s fifth-year option.
  • ClutchPoints argues a trade would not make sense because the Chargers view themselves in win-now mode with Justin Herbert.
  • Johnston has topped 700 receiving yards with eight touchdowns in each of the past two seasons and has 1,877 career yards.
  • The article notes year-over-year improvement but flags inconsistency getting open, while positioning Ladd McConkey as the top receiver and Johnston as a potential WR2 or WR3.
