Eric Kendricks To Be Released By Chargers

Veteran linebacker Eric Kendricks is being released by the Los Angeles Chargers ahead of free agency, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Kendricks signed a two-year, $13.25 million contract with the Chargers last offseason after eight seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, but the two sides are parting ways after just one year. The move saves the organization $6.5 million on the cap. The 32-year-old has compiled 1,036 tackles, 18.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, nine interceptions, and 57 run stuffs in 132 NFL games. He earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2019. Although he's likely seen his best days on the field, he could draw interest from other teams as a veteran leader and signal-caller for defense when the legal tampering period begins on March 11.
