The NFL’s legal tampering period is underway, but the Chargers have already been busy over the last couple of days.
The Chargers made three moves official on the eve of free agency, including a big one filling a need at center with Tyler Biadasz.
Biadasz joins the Chargers after a pair of seasons in Washington, where he became a steady veteran playing over 900 offensive snaps each season and allowing four total sacks and no quarterback hits.
And for the Bolts, this move was a home run before the New League Year kicked off.
Sporting News’ Vinnie Iyer gave the team an ‘A grade’ for the signing, as quick thinking helped the Chargers secure a position of need.
The Chargers needed a replacement fast for retiring Bradley Bozeman and jumped on the former Commander and Cowboy at a reasonable price.
The Athletic’s Daniel Popper also gave the team a high grade with an ‘A-‘.
Not only did the Chargers fill in a starter position on an important offensive line, they did so by signing a reliable veteran who upgrades the position.
This was a smart move for a team that needed an upgrade in the middle of its offensive line. Bradley Bozeman, who retired earlier this offseason, was a weak point for the Chargers over the past two seasons. The Chargers could have shopped at the top of the center market… instead they signed a savvy, experienced player in Biadasz at a much lower price point, giving them additional flexibility moving further into free agency.
