The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to terms with veteran fullback Alec Ingold on a two-year contract, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal is reportedly worth $7.5 million, immediately vaulting Ingold back into the ranks of the NFL's highest-paid players at the position.
Ingold, 29, hit the open market after being released by the Miami Dolphins last week in a cap-saving move. His quick signing with the Chargers underscores his value as one of the premier lead blockers and versatile backfield threats in the league. Last season, Ingold was a fixture in the Dolphins' offense, appearing in all 17 games and contributing as both a blocker and a receiver.
A former undrafted free agent out of Wisconsin, Ingold spent his first three seasons with the Raiders before signing a significant extension with Miami in 2023. This new agreement with Los Angeles keeps him at the top of the fullback market, tied for the highest average annual value at the position. The move provides the Chargers with a proven veteran to assist in their offensive transition as they look to establish a more physical identity in the run game.
