Former Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy reportedly meeting with Chargers

Ex-New England Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy’s next stop could be the AFC West.

The Los Angeles Chargers are hosting the veteran free agent on a visit, as first reported Thursday by NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.

“If all goes well, there is a good chance he signs,” said Rapoport. “A potential important addition to Brandon Staley’s defense.”

Van Noy, 31, had been released by New England in March in a move that cleared close to $5 million against the salary cap. He started eight of his 16 games last regular season after returning to the organization on a two-year, $12 million contract following his departure from the Miami Dolphins.
