Troy Dye

Chargers agreed to terms with LB Troy Dye, formerly of the Vikings, on a one-year contract.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Vikings hoped to bring Dye back for next season, but the long-time special teams ace has opted to join the Chargers in hopes of more playing time on defense. Through 60 career games, Dye, a former fourth-round pick, has totaled just 80 tackles, one TFL, and one sack. We’ll see what kind of role he’s able to carve out under new head coach Jim Harbaugh.
