The 2007 San Diego Chargers season will begin with the team trying to improve on their 14-2 record in 2006, and attempt to return to the playoffs again. The Chargers will return a defensive unit that finished the 2006 season #1 in multiple defense statistical rankings.

Offseason

After a postseason loss to the New England Patriots, offensive and defensive coordinators Cam Cameron and Wade Phillips left for new coaching jobs with the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys respectively. Marty Schottenheimer, after originally being told he would stay as head coach, was fired in February. Replacing Schottenheimer was Norv Turner, who was signed to take over the helm later in the month. Turner, who installed the Chargers current offensive set when he was the Chargers' offensive coorindator in 2001, was selected to be the head coach largely due to the fact that he would maintain the offensive game plan that lead the team to its best regular season record in team history. Turner also agreed with general manager A.J. Smith on the hiring of defensive coordinator Ted Cottrell, who had worked with Phillips when both were with the Buffalo Bills and later was the defensive coordinator with the Bills. Smith also re-signed Charger free agent offensive guard Kris Dielman to a six-year contract that will virtually guarantee him almost $17 million and put him around $40 million over the life of the deal. Linebacker Donnie Edwards was not offered a contract and signed with his former team, the Kansas City Chiefs.

2007 NFL Draft

Further information: 2007 NFL Draft

The Chargers started out by making the 30 overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft due to their 14-2 season in 2006. They selected Craig Davis out of Louisiana State University. In the second round, safety Eric Weddle was selected as a possible replacement to Terrence Kiel, who was released earlier in the off-season. The Chargers also selected linebacker Anthony Waters from Clemson University, who missed his senior season due to a leg injury.
