Bryce Callahan is staying in the AFC West. The Chargers announced that they have signed the free agent cornerback.
Callahan joined the Bears as an undrafted free agent in 2015, and he ended up spending four seasons in Chicago. Following a 2018 season where he collected 45 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions, and six passes defended, the defensive back inked a three-year, $21MM deal with the Broncos.
He missed his first season in Denver thanks to a foot injury, but he managed to start 16 games for the Broncos over the final two years of his contract. In 21 total games for Denver, Callhan collected 71 tackles, nine passes defended, and two interceptions.
In Los Angeles, he’ll be joining a depth chart that’s headlined by free agent acquisition J.C. Jackson. The Chargers are also rostering 2021 second-round pick Asante Samuel Jr. and veteran Michael Davis.
Over under of playing 6 games next year?
Quality of play is more important than quantity of play and he can be effective as a depth player providing relief for a starter.
What does it matter how good a player is if he can’t reliably stay on the field? That’s why neither the Bears or Broncos re-signed him.
Not if he is out injured as he often is. Lordy this is a stupid take. You must be crosseyed alright cuz you ain’t seeing things right.
I don’t think his take is stupid. The Chargers have a pretty deep secondary, so they can take a gamble on Callahan and don’t need him to necessarily stay healthy. Given that they are using him as depth and presumably paying very little, anything he provides (which is usually high-quality play) is icing on the cake
The best ability is availability.
Yeah, but he won’t be expected to play every single snap, so he will be less likely to be injured
He’s expected to be the starting Slot DB and take Chris Harris Jr spot now that Harris is a free agent.
I wonder if he had more people at his 21st birthday party than his cousin Bo out of Wisconsin did?
