Saints trading OL Trevor Penning to Chargers for 2027 sixth-round pick
Our Summary
The Los Angeles Chargers have acquired offensive lineman Trevor Penning from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round draft pick. This move comes as the Chargers address the need for a left tackle following the season-ending ankle surgery of Joe Alt and a previous season-ending injury to Rashawn Slater. With Justin Herbert facing protection issues, Penning is expected to fill the gap on the offensive line. Penning, originally a top tackle prospect from Northern Iowa and the 19th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has experience at tackle, starting 23 games there with the Saints. The Chargers, currently 6-3 and competing in the AFC playoff race, hope Penning will stabilize their offensive line amid ongoing injury challenges.
