The San Diego Chargers have been in the market for an
offensive tackle throughout the offseason, and they finally were able to add a
veteran presence yesterday. The Chargers agreed to a one-year contract with
Pittsburgh Steelers free agent Max Starks, according to Josina Anderson of
ESPN.

Prior to the signing of Starks, the Chargers were poised to
enter the season with King Dunlap as their starting left tackle. Starks has a
good shot at jumping ahead of Dunlap on the team’s depth chart, while
first-round draft pick D.J. Fluker is expected to man the right side of the
line.
Starks has spent the past five seasons with the Steelers.
While there’s a reason he went unsigned for this long, he still represents an
upgrade for the Chargers, considering the dire straits they were facing at left
tackle.
