Tyler Conklin has officially joined the Los Angeles Chargers on a one-year deal, as confirmed by his agent. Previously a reliable tight end for the New York Jets, Conklin had recorded 170 receptions over three seasons. His performance dipped in 2024, overshadowed by the Jets' wide receiving talent, but he maintained his reputation as a sure-handed receiver with no drops. With this move, he aims to enhance the Chargers' tight end options alongside Will Dissly, continuing to leverage his established skills at the position after being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2018.
Conklin joins a tight end room in L.A. that also includes Will Dissly, as he looks to continue his growth following a reliable tenure with New York.
Over three seasons with the Jets, Conklin amassed 170 receptions, establishing himself as a crucial possession receiver, despite a decline in numbers in 2024.
Statistically, he was the most surehanded pass catcher on the team, with no drops in 73 targets in 2024, even as the Jets favored their wide receivers.
Conklin, originally drafted by the Minnesota Vikings, showcased versatility by transitioning from basketball to becoming a solid tight end at Central Michigan.
