After signing tight end John Phillips earlier Wednesday, the San Diego Chargers dipped into the free agent market again to sign tackle King Dunlap and guard Chad Rinehart.

The Chargers bolstered their offensive line by signing Phillips, formerly with Dallas, for three years; Dunlap, who was with Philadelphia, for two, and Rinehart, from Buffalo, for one.

Dunlap is a 6-9, 330-pound left tackle, while Rinehart is a versatile 6-5, 321-pound guard and Phillips is a 6-5, 251-pounder who started eight of his 16 games for the Cowboys last season, and also made 22 tackles on special teams.
