According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Chargers will not be tendering defensive end Isaac Rochell. He will officially hit free agency on Wednesday.
Rochell, the Bolts’ seventh-round pick back in 2017, started a career-high six games in 2020 due to a number of injuries to both Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram. He ended the year with 29 total tackles, one tackle-for-loss, and 2.5 sacks. His best season with the Chargers came in 2018 when he started three games, playing in all 16, and recorded a career-high five sacks and six tackles-for-loss.
