Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played for both the Chargers and the Seahawks.
Geno Smith
After an impressive collegiate career at West Virginia University, where he was a finalist for the Manning Award, Geno Smith was selected in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the New York Jets.
Smith began his professional career as the Jets’ starting quarterback, a position he held for two seasons. In his rookie year, Smith led the Jets to an 8-8 record, but his tenure with the Jets was marked by inconsistency. He later lost the starting job and subsequently served as a backup quarterback for the team.
After bouncing around in a couple of backup roles, Smith had a career resurgence in 2022 with the Seahawks. He earned his first Pro Bowl selection, throwing for over 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns.

Dwight Freeney
Dwight Freeney had a highly successful career in the NFL, standing out as one of the most feared defensive ends of his time. He was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts with the 11th overall pick of the 2002 NFL Draft. Freeney spent the majority of his career with the Colts (2002 to 2012), and became a key figure in their defense.
Over the span of his illustrious career, he accumulated 125.5 sacks, 47 forced fumbles, and 350 tackles. Freeney was a force to be reckoned with on the field, earning seven Pro Bowl selections and three First-Team All-Pro nods. One of the highlights of his career was winning Super Bowl XLI with the Colts.
After leaving the Colts, Freeney had stints with several other teams including the San Diego Chargers, Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks, and Detroit Lions before retiring in 2017.

Charlie Whitehurst, known affectionately as “Clipboard Jesus” for his long hair and backup quarterback role, spent 7 seasons in the NFL. He was originally drafted in the third round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers.
Whitehurst had the most playing time with the Seattle Seahawks in 2010 and 2011 and with the Tennessee Titans in 2014. He also spent time with the Indianapolis Colts and the Cleveland Browns.
