The Chargers are actively shopping Trai Turner, a source tells ESPN.com's Adam Schefter (on Twitter). The former Pro Bowl guard seems on course to be traded or released soon, Schefter adds.
Turner is set to make $11.5M this year, the final season of the four-year, $45M pact he signed with the Panthers. The Bolts were happy to pick up the tab around this time last year in the trade that sent Russell Okung to Carolina. Turner was hot off of five straight Pro Bowl appearances, and there was the hope that he could get back to his best work. In 2015 - his coming-out party - he ranked as one of the game's very best.
Unfortunately, injuries limited Turner to just nine games in Los Angeles. The Chargers, meanwhile, are out to remake their offensive line and shore up Justin Herbert's protection. In a matter of days, Turner will either be elsewhere or looking for his next opportunity.
