The Chargers will be bringing back core special teamer Del’Shawn Phillips.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Phillips has agreed to a new contract. It is a two-year deal worth $7.5 million and includes incentives that can increase the total value of the pact by another $3 million.
Phillips signed with the Chargers last season and played 80 percent of the special teams snaps while playing sparingly on defense. He had 39 tackles, a sack and a fumble recovery in the 18 games the Chargers played during the regular season and playoffs.
Phillips has also played for the Texans, Ravens, Jets and Bills.
