The Los Angeles Chargers rolled out the red carpet for offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to start the week, then locked down a key defender on a contract extension. 

According to ESPN’s Kris Rhim , the Chargers signed defensive lineman Teair Tart to a three-year contract extension. 

A key part of Jesse Minter’s defenses over the last two seasons, Tart will remain as a foundational building block now that his former coordinator has taken the job as head coach of the Baltimore Ravens.
