Inman has been with the Bolts for the last three seasons following a post-college stint in the CFL. The 28-year-old has a breakout campaign in 2016, with career-highs in receptions (58), receiving yards (810), and touchdowns (four). Despite that performance, it appears he has slipped in the Chargers’ pecking order.

Per the terms of his second-round tender, Inman is set to earn a non-guaranteed $2.797MM base salary for the coming season. If the Chargers do not find a taker for Inman and would rather use his roster spot on someone else, they could release him without financial penalty.

Keenan Allen, Tyrell Williams, and Travis Benjamin figure to see the most looks out of Los Angeles’ wide receivers this year. Inman, Isaiah Burse, Geremy Davis, and UDFA Artavis Scott are jostling for supporting roles while first-round rookie Mike Williams looks to recover from his back injury.

Jermaine Kearse of the Seahawks is also among the wide receivers on the trade block.
