San Diego Chargers sign Veteran TE Jeff Cumberland

It was inevitable.

San Diego had to add some depth to the Tight End group with the only real experienced players being Antonio Gates and Sean McGrath. That depth came today in the form of Jeff Cumberland, a six year veteran free agent from the New York Jets.
