Los Angeles Chargers reach one-year deal with TE Jared Cook, source says

Tight end Jared Cook and the Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to a one-year contract worth a maximum of $6 million, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Cook will help fill a void left when Hunter Henry left the Chargers to sign with the New England Patriots.

A 12-year veteran, Cook, who will be 34 when the 2021 season begins, has been playing some of his best football over the past three seasons -- primarily as a pass catcher and matchup issue for opposing defenses.

The 6-foot-5, 254-pounder made his first Pro Bowl with the Raiders in 2018 after setting career highs with 68 catches, 896 yards and 6 touchdowns.
