The San Diego Chargers have signed Dwight Freeney to a two-year deal worth $8.75 million.
Freeney had been looking for a contract similar to the one Osi Umenyiora signed earlier in the offseason with the Atlanta Falcons.
The Chargers run the 3-4 defense as their base while Freeney has played his entire career as a 4-3 defensive end.
