Mandatory Credit: Stephen Lew-Imagn Images The New Orleans Saints traded offensive lineman and former first-round draft pick Trevor Penning to the Los Angeles Chargers ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday.
The Chargers will send the Saints a 2027 draft pick, which multiple reports said will be a sixth-rounder.
The Chargers were in desperate need of O-line help, especially at left tackle. After losing two-time Pro Bowl starter Rashawn Slater to a season-ending patellar tendon tear in August, his replacement, Joe Alt, is set to undergo right ankle surgery that will put an end to his 2025 campaign.
Penning, 26, has started 29 of his 46 career games for the Saints and served as a tackle and a guard. He was the 19th overall selection in the 2022 NFL Draft.
The Chargers (6-3) are a game behind the Denver Broncos and a game ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West race, while the Saints (1-8) are tied for the worst record in the NFL and offloaded wide receiver Rashid Shaheed to the Seattle Seahawks earlier in the day.
