"Tomlinson, 32, started 17 games with the Cardinals last season, recording 26 tackles, one sack and three quarterback hits. The nine-year NFL veteran started his career with the Giants in 2017, playing four seasons in New York before spending two seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and two more with the Cleveland Browns."
"Widely considered the best run-blocking tight end available ahead of free agency, Kolar should help an uneven Chargers running attack that forced coach Jim Harbaugh to often rely too much on quarterback Justin Herbert - even when his running backs were healthy."
"The Chargers have had a relatively quiet free-agent signing period, re-signing veterans and locking down role players to boost their offensive protection efforts and special teams. The team still has roughly $60 million in salary-cap space."
The Chargers bolstered their roster by signing defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson to a one-year contract worth $7.5 million with $6 million guaranteed. The 32-year-old veteran started all 17 games for Arizona last season, recording 26 tackles, one sack, and three quarterback hits. Tomlinson will provide depth behind nose tackle Teair Tart in the defensive line rotation. Additionally, the Chargers signed blocking tight end Charlie Kolar to a three-year, $24.3 million deal with $17 million guaranteed. Kolar, considered the best run-blocking tight end in free agency, will enhance the team's running game under new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel and replace released tight end Will Dissly.
