The Los Angeles Chargers have re-signed veteran offensive lineman Trey Pipkins to a two-year, $10 million contract, with the potential to earn up to $12 million with playtime incentives. Pipkins, a third-round pick by the Chargers in 2019, has spent his entire seven-year career with the team.

Why it matters

Pipkins' return provides valuable depth and experience for the Chargers' offensive line, which was hit hard by injuries last season. With key starters Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt returning from season-ending injuries, Pipkins' familiarity with the team and system will be an asset.

The details

In 2025, Pipkins played 13 games, starting 10, on an injury-plagued Chargers offensive line. Over his career, the 29-year-old has appeared in 97 games, with 66 starts, and has played 4,459 offensive snaps.

  • Pipkins was originally drafted by the Chargers in the third round in 2019.
