Chargers sign former Saints TE Jared Cook

Veteran tight end Jared Cook has agreed to terms with Los Angeles on a one-year deal worth $6 million, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. The contract includes $4.5 million in fully guaranteed money, Rapoport added. The team later announced the signing.

Cook spent the last two seasons with the Saints, where he caught 80 passes for 1,209 yards and 16 touchdowns combined between the campaigns. While productive, his time in New Orleans might be remembered for how it ended — a catch and fumble in the NFC Divisional Round that swung the game in favor of the visiting Buccaneers, who rode that momentum to an upset victory and a sprint to a win in Super Bowl LV.
