Joe Hortiz has often touted the fact that roster building is a year-round process.
The latest move from the Chargers General Manager backs up that line of thinking.
The Chargers on Monday announced they have agreed to terms with David Njoku, a move that adds a veteran playmaker to what is now a well-rounded tight end room.
Njoku is a 29-year-old who has already played nine seasons in the league after being a first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
A former Pro Bowler, Njoku has been among the league's more consistent tight ends in his career, especially the past few seasons.
Over the past four seasons, Njoku is tied for fifth among tight ends with 19 touchdown catches and 1,478 yards after the catch. He is seventh with 248 total catches.
All in all, Njoku has 384 receptions for 4,062 yards and 34 touchdown catches in 118 games (88 starts).
But Njoku has likely never played with a quarterback as talented as Justin Herbert.
And he should be an ideal fit given the makeup of the tight end room he's joining.
