COSTA MESA, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Chargers announced on Wednesday they will not exercise the 2019 option on the contract of DT Corey Liuget, the longest-tenured player on defense.
The move means Liuget will become a free agent in March. However, Chargers GM Tom Telesco said it remains a possibility for Liuget to return to the Chargers in free agency.
Liuget joins fellow defensive lineman Brandon Mebane, Darius Philon and Damion Square as Chargers set to hit free agency in March.
"While we did not exercise the 2019 option in Corey's contract and he will now become a free agent on March 13, the door is certainly not closed for a possible return in the future," Telesco said in a statement.
