After being cut by the only NFL team he’d played for during the first 13 seasons of his career following April’s NFL draft, punter Mike Scifres has found a new home.
The San Diego Chargers released Scifres after the team drafted Drew Kaser out of Texas A&M in the sixth round of the draft. Now, Scifres will look to continue his playing career with the defending NFC champions.
Originally a fifth-round draft choice out of Western Illinois in 2003, Scifres has a 45.2-yard career punting average to go along with a 40.1-yard net average. He played in 189 games for the Chargers.
