The Chargers have a big decision to make regarding running back J.K. Dobbins, who will be a free agent this offseason.
It remains to be seen whether they will bring him back, but it’s clear that Dobbins would like to stay in Los Angeles.
“Hopefully, maybe, I can be a Charger for the rest of the time playing … we’ll see here pretty soon,” Dobbins said on an episode of Up & Adams.
Dobbins was signed by the Bolts last offseason after spending four seasons with the Ravens, where he flashed his talent but was also derailed by injuries that kept him sidelined for most of his time in Baltimore.
Silencing the doubters who believed he couldn’t stay healthy, Dobbins set career highs in rushing yards (905) and tied his personal best with nine rushing touchdowns.
“It definitely feels good. And I love the Chargers fans,” Dobbins said. “It was a great year. It was a special year. [The fans] believed in me. When they really saw that I was healthy, they embraced me.”
As a result of his bounce-back campaign, Dobbins is a finalist for the Associated Press’ Comeback Player of the Year Award.
“Yes, I do. I love the Chargers. Hopefully, everything will work out,” Dobbins added, confirming that he wants to remain in the powder blue and gold.
