The Los Angeles Chargers have a bright future ahead of them after Justin Herbert showed out during his rookie year. The team has the 13th pick overall in the upcoming draft and has a real opportunity to build a playoff-caliber team in the AFC West.
However, in recent news, the upper management of the Chargers organization is rumored to potentially sell the team. According to the Los Angeles Times.
“In an attempt to force the sale of the Chargers, a sister of controlling owner Dean Spanos filed a petition in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday arguing that mounting debt has imperiled the family’s finances and the only solution is to put the NFL franchise on the market.”
The Spanos family is apparently in financial trouble, and according to the petition, the family “doesn’t have a plan to pay more than $22 million it has pledged to charities.” If this is true, the Chargers could be under new ownership sooner rather than later.
However, this news comes at a terrible time, as the Chargers' front office has built an exciting roster that could finally captivate the fan base in Los Angeles. The Chargers franchise is sure to make decent money, as is every NFL franchise. Additionally, Dean Spanos vowed to his three siblings that he would retain an investment bank at the end of the 2024 season in an effort to find a new owner, per the Los Angeles Times.
This is an ongoing story, as there seems to be a dispute amongst the Spanos family. As of now, the team remains under control of Dean Spanos, but only time will tell what the outcome will be of the Chargers franchise.
