Report: Former Saints C/G Will Clapp to Sign with Chargers

New Orleans loses another depth piece along their offensive line, according to reports.

According to Field Yates of ESPN, the Los Angeles Chargers are signing former New Orleans Saints offensive lineman Will Clapp. An unrestricted free agent, Clapp had been with New Orleans since 2018.

Clapp was a seventh-round choice by the Saints out of LSU in the 2018 NFL Draft. He had appeared in 18 games in four seasons with the team, starting seven contests.

Clapp, a reserve guard and center, appeared in a career-high 14 games in 2019. He’d see a career-high three starts in nine games for an injury-marred New Orleans offensive line last season.

Over his career with the Saints, Clapp played 611 offensive snaps and 161 more on special teams.
