Chargers Sign TE Tyler Conklin to One-Year Deal

The Los Angeles Chargers have signed veteran tight end Tyler Conklin to a one-year deal, addressing a significant need in their offense. Conklin, who played the last three seasons with the New York Jets, recorded 51 receptions for 449 yards and four touchdowns in 2024. The move is expected to provide a boost to the Chargers' passing game, alongside quarterback Justin Herbert and recent acquisitions such as running back Najee Harris. With this signing, the Chargers' draft strategy remains unclear, as they have addressed both running back and tight end positions in free agency. The team might still pursue additional weapons or focus on other areas in the upcoming draft. Conklin's addition may influence other teams, like the Jets, to prioritize drafting a tight end.
