The San Diego Chargers came to an agreement on a one-year contract with veteran linebacker Stephen Cooper Friday.
Cooper played the past eight seasons with the Chargers after joining the team as an undrafted free agent in 2003 out of the University of Maine. He started 11 of 12 games played in ’10.
“We are happy Coop decided to return to the Chargers,” said General Manager A.J. Smith. “He wanted to explore the free agent market and weigh his options. He will bring his experience and more veteran leadership to our linebacker corps.”
