Tyler Conklin has officially joined the Los Angeles Chargers on a one-year deal valued at $3 million, with potential incentives reaching $4.5 million. This signing is viewed as a strategic move to enhance the team's tight end position, where they lacked depth. Conklin has demonstrated consistent performance in recent seasons, averaging over 550 receiving yards and 50 catches annually. His arrival adds much-needed reliability to the roster, especially for quarterback Justin Herbert.

The Chargers are also gearing up for the draft, eyeing wide receivers like Te'Dora McMillan and Matthew Golden. McMillan's massive frame and red zone prowess make him a valuable prospect, while Golden offers speed and versatility. Despite signing Conklin, the expectation remains for the Chargers to draft a tight end, ensuring future depth and talent in that position.
