A big part of ensuring that the Chargers have a complete roster next season will not only consist of signing free agents and making draft selections, but re-signing some of their key unrestricted free agents.

With that being said, here are three key players that Los Angeles needs to bring back.

Adrian Phillips S

This is a given for the Chargers. Not only was Phillips the most-improved defensive player, but he solidified himself as one of the leaders on the entire team. He took over as the team’s middle linebacker after Denzel Perryman went down with a season-ending injury and excelled in that role.

Phillips led the league in special teams tackles with 19. He finished the season with 94 tackles (77 solo), 10 passes defensed, four tackles for loss and one interception. The fifth-year player also earned first team All Pro, Pro Bowl and Professional Football Writers of America All-NFL Team honors for his work on special teams.
