Sometimes you just have to call your own shot.
Earlier this morning I wrote about two defensive tackles that the Chargers should consider signing: Linval Joseph and Michael Pierce. It turns out the team had the same idea.
The Chargers have come to terms with Joseph on a two-year, $17 million deal, giving them the run-stuffing presence they’ve needed for quite some time.
The #Chargers have improved their offensive line in free agency, now beef up their defensive line. https://t.co/smwbvyubeE

This past season, Joseph started 13 games and finished with 44 total tackles, six tackles-for-loss, three sacks, and a forced fumble. He played 553 snaps while rotating in with a host of other young defensive tackles in Minnesota. He’s not going to be a three-down type of player for the Chargers, but that’s okay. They don’t need him to be that type of player. He’s a great veteran presence and he’s got a heck of a personality. I have a feeling he’s going to be one of the most fun players in the locker room during his time in Los Angeles.
Linval Joseph needed some air after that Big Man TD
