Here are the minor moves to wrap up the weekend:
Los Angeles Chargers
- Signed: TE Sage Surratt
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Activated from active/PUP: CB Don Gardner
Surratt went undrafted last year after opting out of the 2020 college football season, an option given to all football players that year due to COVID-19. He considered entering the 2020 NFL Draft after an impressive redshirt sophomore season at Wake Forest, but ultimately decided to return before eventually opting out. Despite only playing in 9 games with the Demon Deacons in 2019, Surratt totaled 66 receptions for 1,001 yards and 11 touchdowns. Unfortunately, averaging 111.22 receiving yards per game in 2019 didn’t build his draft stock enough for the 2021 Draft. Surratt has spent time on the practice squads for the Lions and the Birmingham Stallions of the USFL but hasn’t seen the field for either. The Chargers will hope to tap into that explosive play from three years ago.
Chargers fan here. Back when Sage was first getting drafted he reminded me of a young Keenan allen. He lacks the route running but it can be developed. Solid depth addition, I can’t complain.
