The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to terms on a three-year, $30 million contract with former Washington Commanders center Tyler Biadasz. Biadasz, a 28-year-old who was originally a fourth-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys in 2020, played the last two seasons in Washington before being released in a cost-cutting move. The Chargers had a need at center after the recent retirement of Bradley Bozeman, and they opted to sign Biadasz rather than wait to potentially sign the Ravens' pending free agent Tyler Linderbaum, whose price tag is expected to exceed $20 million per season.

Why it matters

The Chargers are looking to bolster their offensive line this offseason, and the signing of Biadasz provides them with a proven center to anchor the middle of the line. With $99 million in cap space, the Chargers have the flexibility to make other moves to improve the roster around star quarterback Justin Herbert.

The details

Biadasz started 30 games over the past two seasons for the Commanders, establishing himself as a reliable and durable center in the NFL. The Chargers are hoping he can provide stability and consistency to their offensive line as they look to build around Herbert and make a deep playoff run.

  • The Chargers agreed to terms with Biadasz on March 6, 2026, ahead of the start of free agency.
