Another Chargers free agent has found a new home.
Per NFL insider Mike Garafolo, the Cowboys are signing former Chargers defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia to a one-year, $3 million deal. Ogbonnia was the Bolts’ fifth-round pick out of UCLA in 2022. He started 20 games across four years while playing in 42 total contests.
While with the Chargers, Ogbonnia played mainly in a rotational role where he recorded 82 total tackles, four tackles for loss, and a half sack.
With Ogbonnia now signing elsewhere, the Chargers’ defensive line room now consists of just Teair Tart, Jamaree Caldwell, Justin Eboigbe, and Scott Matlock. With that shallow of a group, expect the Chargers to target the position in the middle rounds of the draft, on top of either re-signing Da’Shawn Hand or finding a new veteran to add to the group.
