Chargers reach deal with nose tackle Mebane

The San Diego Chargers have agreed to a three-year contract with former Seahawks defensive tackle Brandon Mebane.

Mebane becomes the second impact free agent added by the team Wednesday, following the signing of wide receiver Travis Benjamin. The team also re-signed tight end Antonio Gates.

Mebane's impact shows up more on film than it does the stat sheet. Coaches and teammates raved about Mebane's performance against the run last year as the Seahawks held opponents to 3.6 yards per carry (third best in the NFL).
