Report: Chargers hosting TE Evan Engram for visit
The Chargers are hosting free agent tight end Evan Engram on a visit today, according to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero.
Engram previously took a visit with the Broncos.
To clear up some cap space and due to a change in the offensive regime, the Jaguars released Engram last week.
Engram, a two-time Pro Bowler, is one of the better receiving tight ends in the NFL, which is what Los Angeles needs.
A torn labrum limited Engram to nine games in 2024, but he still finished with 47 catches for 365 yards and a touchdown. The year before that, Engram caught 114 passes for 963 yards and four scores en route to one of his Pro Bowl appearances.
Engram was originally selected by the Giants in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft. In eight seasons in the NFL, he has posted 496 career receptions, 4,922 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns.

Alex Anzalone's cryptic post adds fuel to the perceived contract demands in Detroit
Alex Anzalone's cryptic post adds fuel to the perceived contract demands in Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone has remained away from the team's voluntary offseason workouts thus far. The team captain is entering the final year of his contract (the deal voids for 2026) and the presumption is that Anzalone, who turns 31 in September, is looking for more money, more guaranteed money, or some combination of both to stay in Detroit. Anzalone's latest social media post is throwing gasoline onto that smoldering situation, one that head coach Dan Campbell stated last week didn't concern him at all. The Instagram post shows Anzalone working out away from the team and looking impressive physically. Anzalone makes no mention at all of the Lions in the extended video clip, nor does he refer to Detroit in his simple comment, "In life, you have options. Which will you choose?" Based on the comments to the clip, including one from Lions teammate Jahmyr Gibbs, it's abundantly clear that the masses believe Anzalone is referring to his perceived contractual squabble with the Lions in the video. Anzalone is under contract for $6 million in 2025, though none of that salary is guaranteed. Including his $100,000 roster bonus, Anzalone's total compensation is outside the top 25 LBs in the NFL for 2025. More: Lions OTA notebook and observations from Friday's practice session

(AP Photo/Jim Mone, File) EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Former Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jim Marshall, one of the four members of the famed Purple People Eaters front that formed the backbone of four Super Bowl teams, died Tuesday after a long hospitalization for an undisclosed illness. He was 87. The Vikings announced Marshall's death Tuesday on behalf of his wife, Susan. The native of Kentucky, who played at Ohio State and was drafted in 1960 by the Cleveland Browns, played 19 of his 20 seasons in the NFL with Minnesota. The two-time Pro Bowl pick set a league record for position players with 282 consecutive games played, a mark held by Marshall until quarterback Brett Favre broke it, coincidentally, with the Vikings in 2010. Advertisement 'No player in Vikings history lived the ideals of toughness, camaraderie and passion more than the all-time iron man,' Vikings owners Mark Wilf and Zygi Wilf said in a statement distributed by the team. "A cornerstone of the franchise from the beginning, Captain Jim's unmatched durability and quiet leadership earned the respect of teammates and opponents throughout his 20-year career. Jim led by example, and there was no finer example for others to follow. His impact on the Vikings was felt long after he left the field. Jim will always be remembered as a tremendous player and person. Our hearts are with his wife, Susan, and all of Jim's loved ones.' Though sacks weren't officially tracked by the NFL until 1982, Pro Football Reference recently completed a retroactive compilation of the primary pass-rushing statistic and credited Marshall with 130½ sacks, which is tied for 22nd all-time. Two other Purple People Eaters rank ahead of him: Alan Page (148½) is eighth, and Carl Eller (133½) is tied for 18th. ___ AP NFL:
