The Los Angeles Chargers have secured a key component of their special teams unit, re-signing veteran long snapper Josh Harris to a new contract, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Per @RapSheet, the Chargers have moved to "lock in" the specialist with what is described as a "really nice deal." The agreement comes as the 2026 NFL league year officially begins, preventing the veteran from hitting the open market as an unrestricted free agent.
Josh Harris, 36, has been a mainstay for the Chargers since joining the organization in 2022. Known for his consistency and veteran leadership, Harris has appeared in over 190 career games and earned Pro Bowl honors in 2021. Despite an injury-interrupted 2025 campaign, Harris remains one of the most reliable long snappers in the league and a priority for the Chargers' kicking operation.
While the specific financial terms of the deal have not yet been made public, the signing provides crucial stability for the Chargers' specialists heading into the 2026 season. The move aligns with the team's strategy of maintaining core veteran contributors under general manager Joe Hortiz and head coach Jim Harbaugh.
