Chargers sign PK Caleb Sturgis to 2-year deal

The Los Angeles Chargers have signed kicker Caleb Sturgis to a two-year contract, the team announced Friday.

Chargers coach Anthony Lynn had said a point of emphasis this offseason will be finding a consistent kicker who can stick around long term.

The Bolts used five kickers in 2017 -- including punter Drew Kaser -- and finished at a league-low 67 percent on field goal attempts.

At an end-of-season news conference general manager Tom Telesco took blame for the team's struggles at the position, saying he didn't do a good enough job addressing the position.
