National Football League veteran offensive tackle King Dunlap is retiring after nine years in the NFL.
The San Diego Chargers signed Dunlap after the offensive tackle's contract with the Eagles expired. He ended up having a pretty good career for being the No. 230 overall pick with 65 starts in 98 games played.
The Los Angeles Chargers released Dunlap on March 13. Los Angeles' 2017 front will feature only one player, right tackle Joe Barksdale, in the same spot as 2016. After spending his first five seasons in Philadelphia, Dunlap signed with the Chargers in 2013.
New lawsuits to be filed against US President Donald Trump
Lindsay Jancek, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, on Monday described the lawsuit as "absurd". Melania Trump has finally relocated to live in the White House with her husband.
The biggest name left among available free agent offensive tackles is former Denver Broncos and New York Jets left tackle Ryan Clady. The 31-year-old left tackle who was scheduled to earn just under $6 million in 2017 chose to call it a career on Monday after being released by the team on March 13.
Dunlap became a starter in 2012 with the Philadelphia Eagles, who drafted him in 2008. A solid pass protector when healthy, Dunlap had trouble staying on the field, missing 13 games the past two seasons due to concussion and leg issues. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports Dunlap had opportunities to sign before making that call.
