What happened: A Yahoo Sports report suggests the Los Angeles Chargers could explore trading running back Kimani Vidal this offseason. Vidal led the Chargers in rushing last season, but the report frames him as a potential trade candidate ahead of the 2026 campaign. No deal has been reported and no team has been named as a suitor.

Why it matters: Moving a team's leading rusher signals a possible backfield reshape for the Chargers entering 2026. Vidal's availability would matter for the depth chart and for any roster the team builds around its running game. The situation remains speculative until the front office or reporting confirms active trade talks.

What to watch: Watch for confirmation of whether the Chargers are actively shopping Vidal and whether a rival team emerges as a suitor. Any move would clarify the backfield pecking order before training camp.
