The Los Angeles Chargers are re-signing veteran offensive lineman Trey Pipkins to a two-year contract, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The deal is reportedly worth $10 million over the two seasons, with the potential to reach a total of $12 million through playtime incentives.
Pipkins, 26, has spent his entire professional career with the Chargers after being selected in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Sioux Falls. After serving as a swing tackle early in his career, he eventually earned the starting right tackle job and has become a key protector for quarterback Justin Herbert. His return ensures critical continuity for an offensive line that has seen significant investment and improvement over the last few seasons.
Last season, Pipkins proved his value by playing through various injuries to solidify the right side of the line. By locking him down on a multi-year deal, the Chargers front office addresses a primary offseason priority before the start of the new league year. The move allows the team to maintain their core protection unit while focusing on other roster needs during the free agency period.
