According to Ian Rapoport, the Chargers brought in free agent WR DJ Chark for a visit on Thursday. 

The Chargers could clearly use receiver help after cutting Mike Williams and trading away Keenan Allen. Chark is among the best available options, but has largely been a deep threat during his NFL career. 

Chark, 27, was a second-round pick by the Jaguars out of LSU back in 2018.  He signed a four-year, $4,447,229 contract with Jacksonville that includes a $1,314,349 signing bonus.

Chark was testing the market for the first time in his career when he agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal that is fully guaranteed with the Lions in 2022. He joined the Panthers last year on another one-year contract.

In 2023, Chark appeared in all 17 games for the Panthers and caught 35 passes for 525 yards receiving and five touchdowns.

We have him included in our Top 100 – 2024 NFL Free Agents list.
