Bolts From The Blue
Teair Tart returns to the Chargers one a one-year deal the same day Poona Ford signs with the Rams.
The Chargers have signed yet another in-house free agent as defensive tackle Teair Tart is returning to the Bolts on a one-year, $5.5 million deal, per NFL insider Adam Schefter. After former teammate Poona Ford signed a three-year deal with the Rams, the Bolts manage to retain at least one impact player from their defensive interior in 2024.
Tart is the fourth in-house free agent to re-sign with the Chargers, joining edge rusher Khalil Mack, center Bradley Bozeman, and punter J.K. Scott.
In his first season with the Chargers, the 6’2, 315-pound Tart recorded 29 total tackles, five tackles for loss, one sack, one interception, two pass breakups, one forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.
Tart entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Florida International University in 2020. He originally signed with the Tennessee Titans where he spent his first 3+ seasons before being released in December of 2023. He’d finish that season with the Texans before signing with the Dolphins in April of 2024.
