Chargers release depth edge rusher Niles King amid post-minicamp roster churn. Limited media coverage suggests King wasn't a priority player for Los Angeles.

Chargers prioritizing fresh talent evaluation over retaining marginal edge depth options.
Contract details pending — will be updated when official terms are reported.
