Free agent wideout DJ Chark has agreed to a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to multiple reports.

The contract could be worth up to $5 million with all incentives, according to CBS Sports.

Veteran receivers Keenan Allen (Chicago Bears) and Mike Williams (New York Jets) departed this offseason, leaving the Chargers with vacancies to fill in the passing game for quarterback Justin Herbert.

The Chargers used the draft to start filling some of those holes, selecting Georgia's Ladd McConkey with the 34th overall pick. They added two more receivers in the seventh round, picking Cornelius Johnson out of Michigan and USC's Brenden Rice, son of Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice.

Chark, 27, caught 35 passes for 525 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games (11 starts) last season with the Carolina Panthers.

He has 212 receptions for 3,069 yards and 23 scores in 69 games (51 starts) with the Panthers, Detroit Lions (2022) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2018-21), who drafted the 2019 Pro Bowl selection in the second round in 2018.
