Former Seattle Seahawks tight end Gerald Everett is signing with the Los Angeles Chargers, per Ari Meirov at Pro Football Focus.

Everett signed with Seattle last March and played relatively well during the 2021 season, posting 478 yards and four touchdowns. However, the recent trade that sent Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos brought over Noah Fant, a younger and more athletic tight end who will be taking over the No. 1 spot on the depth chart.

Everett joins a loaded offense led by Justin Herbert, one of the NFL’s top rising stars at quarterback. The Chargers have also re-signed wide receiver Mike Williams, their top pending free agent.

They face an uphill battle in the AFC West, though. Both Denver and the Kansas City Chiefs look like Super Bowl contenders on paper and the Las Vegas Raiders just got a huge boost from trading for Davante Adams from the Green Bay Packers.
