2025 Fantasy Outlook
Penning struggled through his first three seasons with the Saints. So much so that the 2022 first-round pick was moved from left tackle to right tackle before last season, and his fifth-year option was declined this offseason. He's slated to transition to guard for the 2025 campaign. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $14.14 million contract with the Saints in May of 2022. Saints declined $16.69 million team option for 2026 in April of 2025. Traded to the Chargers in November of 2025.
Dealt to L.A.
The Chargers acquired Penning from the Saints on Tuesday in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round draft pick, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
A 2022 first-round selection of the Saints, Penning began his career as an offensive tackle, but he had been serving primarily as New Orleans' starting left guard in 2025. After acquiring Penning, the Chargers could revisit using him at tackle, where the team has lost both of its projected starters -- Rashawn Slater (kneecap) and Joe Alt (ankle) -- to season-ending injuries. Penning is in the final season of his rookie deal and is set to become a free agent this spring.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Off injured reserve
Penning, who hasn't played this season due to a toe injury, will be activated off injured reserve Saturday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2022 first-round pick could finally make his regular-season debut after injuring his toe during the preseason. The Saints have been decimated with injuries all along the offensive line, which means Penning could eventually make his way into the starting lineup over incumbent James Hurst.
