The NFL’s Gameday Accountability Portal listed seven fines across seven teams for the wild-card round, including a Chargers defender fined for unnecessary roughness in the fourth quarter at 14:01 remaining. Linebacker Denzel Perryman was fined $10,367, his only penalty of the season. 💸
Perryman appeared in 10 games this season for the Bolts, registering 47 tackles and 3 pass deflections. It marked his eighth season with the Chargers, after the first six years of his career with the team in San Diego; over his Chargers tenure he logged 451 tackles, 6 sacks, 3 interceptions and 9 pass deflections. On a one-year deal for 2025-26, there had been no talks of an extension, and there are no clear signs he intends to continue playing—retirement would leave him with 764 career tackles and a single Pro Bowl in 2021. 🧭🏟️
On the coaching front, the Chargers parted ways with offensive coordinator Greg Roman and have begun a search for a new OC. The latest candidate to interview was former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll, who led the Giants to a 20-40 record in his tenure there. Other interviewees include Mike McDaniel and Brian Callahan, with internal conversations already held with pass game coordinator Marcus Brady and quarterbacks coach Shane Day. 🎯🎙️
In summary, LA is amid a transitional period, reshaping its staff while preparing for free agency and the 2026 draft. The playoff punishment for Perryman underscores ongoing league discipline, and the offensive coordinator hunt remains active with several high-profile names in consideration. 🔄🗂️
