Moore made an unceremonious departure from Dallas and seemed to take a subtle jab at his former team’s talent when he discussed his current team’s personnel.
«It will allow us to put these guys in different roles and different positions so they can be successful,» Moore said. «No one is going to complain about having a receiving room like this, where you have all this talent. I think we’re very, very excited.»

The health of the Chargers’ wide receiver room will be something to watch in 2023. Injuries limited Allen, a five-time Pro Bowler, to ten games last season.
Williams caught four touchdown passes during an up-and-down season. He managed to play in 13 games and finished the year with 895 receiving yards.
The Chargers are hoping for better odds on the health front next season, especially now that Johnson has been added to the mix.
