The San Diego Chargers agreed to a one-year deal with right tackle Joe Barksdale, according to multiple reports.

Barksdale, 27, has started 29 games over the past two seasons for the St. Louis Rams, but was not re-signed after the team used a second-round pick on Wisconsin’s Rob Havenstein.

In San Diego, Barksdale provides depth, and a starting option should the Chargers ultimately slide D.J. Fluker inside to guard.

Barksdale was a third-round pick by the Oakland Raiders in 2011, was claimed by the Rams off waivers in 2012 and emerged as a regular starter the following season.
