Chargers Trade for Zak Zinter: Low-Risk Move

It's April 3rd, I'm Cory with the story.

This is NFL News today, driven by AI and built for football fans.

The Los Angeles Chargers are beefing up their offensive line after grabbing coal-strange

and free agency, but they might need more firepower up front.

Bleacher reports Mo Moton floats the idea of trading for Cleveland Brown's lineman Zach

Zinter, a third-round pick from the 2024 draft.

Zinter balled out in Michigan for four years under Jim Harball, earning consensus all American

honors as a senior.

Now with the Browns under new offensive coach Todd Munkin, they've added Elton Jenkins

and Zion Johnson inside, leaving Zinter with just three starts.

In 22 games and a tough path to playing time.

This move clicks for the Chargers since Zinter runs Harball's system like clockwork, and

it frees up draft picks to hit other spots if they pull it.

Off early, fans are buzzing about injecting that Michigan grit into the trenches for immediate

help.

It matters, snag him before the draft for max flexibility, or wait if a rookie doesn't

pan out.

Developing a long-term starter for four years is the dream, but Zinter on the cheek for

his final two years of the rookie deal is a smart fallback.

Bottom line, it's a low-risk play to solidify the line without breaking the bank, keeping the

Chargers rolling strong into the season.
