Tyler Conklin Signs One-Year Deal with Los Angeles Chargers

The veteran tight end's move addresses a key offensive need for the Chargers and leaves the Jets searching for a replacement.

Tyler Conklin, formerly of the New York Jets, has signed a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Chargers, confirmed by his agent Mike McCartney.
Conklin's addition fills a critical gap in the Chargers' offense, providing quarterback Justin Herbert with a reliable tight end option.
Over three seasons with the Jets, Conklin recorded 170 receptions, 1,622 yards, and seven touchdowns, showcasing consistent production.
The Jets now face a significant void at tight end, with limited free-agent options available and likely to target the position in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Conklin's signing, along with the recent acquisition of running back Najee Harris, may shift the Chargers' draft focus away from offensive skill positions.
