Jeff Cumberland will be joining the Chargers in Los Angeles. Here’s hoping he gets a warmer welcome this time.
The veteran re-signed with the Bolts on Wednesday, agreeing to a one-year deal that makes him one of six tight ends on the roster. At the top of that depth chart are Antonio Gates — a likely future Hall of Famer — and Hunter Henry, who caught eight touchdowns as a rookie last season.
Cumberland’s return comes exactly three months after the franchise finalized its move north from San Diego. Two days after that relocation announcement, the 29-year-old was watching a Lakers-Clippers game when the Chargers logo flashed up on the video board.
