One under-the-radar free agent whom the Chargers are keeping an eye on is NT Antonio Garay. The veteran is a key part of the team's defensive line and is somebody the organization would like to bring back at a reasonable cost. Garay is 32 and has a history of injuries, and his production dropped a bit last season, from 5.5 sacks and nine tackles for loss in 2010 to 2.5 sacks and just six stops behind the line in 2011. According to a team insider, the Chargers are optimistic they can retain Garay for the upcoming season without breaking the bank. However, Pro Football Weekly hears they'd also like to find a younger nose tackle to be part of a rotation with the veteran.
