The Chargers on Friday added to their tight-end depth by signing Tyler Conklin, formerly of the New York Jets, to a one-year contract.
Conklin, a seven-year veteran, will likely compete for the starting position with Will Dissly and Tucker Fisk when training camp begins in late July in El Segundo.
Tight end was one of the thinnest spots on the roster before the Chargers signed Conklin, one of the NFL’s top possession receivers at his position. Conklin, 29, has had 50 receptions or more in each of the past four seasons, including a career-high 61 in 2023 with the Jets and 2021 with the Minnesota Vikings.
Last season with New York, Conklin caught 51 passes for 449 yards and a career-high four touchdowns.
He spent four seasons with the Vikings, who drafted him in the fifth round of the 2018 draft out of Central Michigan. He began his college career as a basketball player before switching to football.
