On the day the two newest Chargers were formally introduced, the team also welcomed back a key returnee.
Safety Adrian Phillips agreed to a one-year contract following a season in which he emerged as a versatile weapon on defense and an all-pro on specials teams.
Coach Anthony Lynn likes to call Phillips one of his “core guys,” recently noting that he believed the performance of such less-heralded players carried the Chargers into the 2018 postseason.
Undrafted out of Texas five years ago, Phillips was on and off the Chargers’ active roster his first two seasons.
