SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Chargers have been searching for a true nose tackle since Jamaal Williams last played for team in 2009.
And the Chargers appear to have found their man in former Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Brandon Mebane, signing him to a three-year deal at the start of free agency on Wednesday.
The Chargers also agreed to a three-year deal with former Indianapolis Colts safety Dwight Lowery, tendered safety Jahleel Addae (second round, $2. 553 million), along with tendering exclusive rights free agents receiver Dontrelle Inman and offensive lineman Kenny Wiggins.
A Los Angeles native, Mebane was one of the main reasons Seattle has had one of the best run defenses in the NFL over the past five seasons.
