Bolts From The Blue
Tony Jefferson chipped in 27 tackles and 1 tackle for loss in four starts for the Chargers after coming out of retirement.
The Chargers are officially running it back with their core group of safeties after the team announced the re-signing of veteran Tony Jefferson to a one-year deal. The former Cardinals and Ravens safety came out of retirement prior to the 2024 season and ended up playing some of his best ball towards the end of the season in place of the injured Elijah Molden.
Jefferson ended the 2024 campaign with 27 total tackles and one tackle for loss while starting four games and playing in eight total. Paired with starters Derwin James and Alohi Gilman, the trio was able to remain one of the best safety rooms in the NFL following Molden’s injury he suffered in Week 15 against the Buccaneers.
For another year, Jefferson will remain in Los Angeles to continue lending his experience and wisdom to a position group full of players either in their prime or just beginning to hit their stride in the NFL.
If the Chargers hope to be even better in 2025, it’s a huge positive that a position group like this will get to run it back with the same group that worked so well together this past season.
