The San Diego Chargers have found some competition for Kellen Clemens.
According to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, the Chargers claimed former Tennessee Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger off waivers.
Mettenberger will be reuniting with Ken Whisenhunt, who was head coach of the Titans in 2014 and 2015. Whisenhunt was fired halfway into last season after a 1-6 start.
It’s a depth signing for the Chargers, whose only backups to Philip Rivers were Clemens and undrafted free agent Mike Bercovici. Mettenberger, a 2014 draft pick, was a favorite of NFL’s Charley Casserly, who once stated that Mettenberger was a second-round talent who went in the sixth round.
