A low-cost depth addition that carries real developmental upside but significant uncertainty. Multiple outlets covered this deal, with at least one questioning whether the Chargers overpaid in draft capital. Penning was a first-round pick who never locked down a starting role in New Orleans, a red flag. Fans are split—optimists see reclamation project potential, pessimists see a bust chasing another roster spot. If Penning finally stays healthy and clicks in LA's system, this sixth-rounder looks like a bargain.

This signing grades out as a reasonable signing for the Los Angeles Chargers — the team is getting significantly more on-field production than what they're paying for. Trevor's on-field performance ranks in the upper half among NFL Gs, grading him as a solid starter at the position. His $9.9M average annual value ranks as below-market money for the G market. The production-to-cost ratio is favorable — solid starter output at a below-market price point represents solid asset management. Trevor is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
