Signed a one-year, $2.79 million contract with the Chargers in March of 2026.
Returning to Bolts
Perryman and the Chargers agreed to terms on a one-year contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Perryman will return to the Chargers for a third consecutive season (and ninth campaign since being drafted by the team in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft). He saw his production dip in 2025, finishing with 47 tackles (30 solo) and three pass defenses across 10 regular-season games. He missed seven games last season, five of which were due to an ankle injury and two more because of a suspension. Perryman's best days are behind him, but he'll fortify the Chargers' depth at inside linebacker behind projected starters Troy Dye and Daiyan Henley.

Perryman's second stint with the Chargers ended much like his first run, as the veteran linebacker missed parts of eight games throughout the season and then tore a ligament in his elbow during the playoffs. The 32-year-old is expected to be a rotational inside backer behind the young duo of Daiyan Henley and Junior Colson.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Reunion in LA?
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports Saturday that the Chargers are in discussion with Perryman on a reunion.
ANALYSIS
After playing with the Chargers for the first six years of his NFL career, Perryman suited up for the Raiders in 2021 and posted a career-best 154 tackles over 15 games. His numbers dipped in 2022 and he spent last season with the Texans, for whom he posted 76 tackles, including 0.5 sacks. Perryman would add veteran experience to the Chargers' linebacker corps and would figure to start alongside Nick Niemann.
