Scifres had been San Diego’s punter since the Chargers selected him in the fifth round of the 2003 NFL Draft. The Chargers released Scifres on April 30 after picking punter Drew Kaser in the sixth round of this year’s draft.
"What I did for 13 years in San Diego I still feel that I’m capable of doing here," Scifres said. "I still feel I can play. Going into the draft, I knew there was a possibility I would end up getting released by San Diego. This is a new chapter, and it’s about the player I can be for this team.
