The Los Angeles Chargers have signed veteran defensive lineman Dalvin Tomlinson to a one-year contract, per his agents at SportsTrust Advisors. The move adds a significant veteran presence to the interior of the Chargers' defensive line as they continue to fortify their roster for the upcoming season.
The deal is reportedly worth $7.5 million for the single-year stint, with $6 million of that total fully guaranteed. Tomlinson, known for his massive frame and ability to anchor the run defense, brings a wealth of experience to Los Angeles. The Chargers have prioritized size and strength in the trenches this offseason, and the addition of Tomlinson aligns with that strategy to improve their defensive front.
Before joining the Chargers, Tomlinson established himself as one of the more consistent interior defenders in the league. His ability to eat up blocks and disrupt the pocket from the inside will be a vital asset for the Los Angeles coaching staff as they look to compete in a high-powered AFC West. The $6 million guarantee signals the team's confidence in his ability to contribute immediately as a starter or primary rotation player.
