Safety Alohi Gilman will re-sign with the Bolts, according to his agent, who announced the move on social media. Edwards rushed for 3,395 yards over five seasons with Baltimore, missing the 2021 season because of a knee injury. Dissly was with the Seattle Seahawks for six seasons. His strength is as a blocking tight end, something the Chargers have lacked.
