Prior to the start of this year’s free agency period, Donald Parham is was the only tight end on the roster for the Chargers. With the future still unknown, fans began to get excited about the prospects of Parham potentially entering the 2021 season as TE1. However, the Bolts filled out the rest of the tight end room by signing veteran Jared Cook and re-signing Stephen Anderson.
This doesn’t automatically mean Parham won’t see an increase in playing time from a year ago, but it does certainly limit his ceiling in 2021.
Due to these events, Parham was actually pegged as one of the biggest “losers” from this year’s free agency period by The Athletic’s Eric Moody.
