LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Chargers signed safety Tony Jefferson on Friday, the team announced.

Jefferson spent last season as a scouting intern with the Baltimore Ravens after announcing his retirement in May 2023. As in intern he worked under current Chargers GM Joe Hortiz, who was then the Ravens’ director of player personnel.

Before turning to scouting, Jefferson played for 10 seasons in the NFL, including 3.5 seasons in Baltimore where he worked with now Chargers DC Jesse Minter, who was a defensive assistant and DBs coach for the Ravens from 2017 to 2020.

Jefferson last played with the New York Giants in 2022, where he played nine games and had 23 tackles.

The Chargers brought Jefferson in for the team’s minicamp on a tryout basis, and he made a strong impression on teammates, including All-Pro safety Derwin James Jr.

James told reporters Thursday that Jefferson has helped players understand the terminology in Minter’s scheme, and James said he hoped the team would sign Jefferson.

Jefferson, 32, will compete for the third spot on the Chargers safety depth chart behind Alohi Gilman and James. It’s an important position for the Chargers because James will likely play some slot cornerback, edge rusher, and other positions at times on the defense, meaning that third safety will have a significant role.

James alluded to that after saying he hoped the team signed Jefferson, telling reporters, “That allows me to move around a little bit.”

Jefferson is the latest former Raven’s player to join the Chargers, following a lengthy list that includes tight end Hayden Hurst, running backs Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins, center Bradley Bozeman, tight end Ben Mason,
