Who Should I Start? Hayden Hurst or Tre' McKitty

Thursday, March 14, 1:52 PM

Free-agent tight end Hayden Hurst (concussion) is visiting the Los Angeles Chargers with the intention to sign with the team, according to a source. Hurst was recently released by the Carolina Panthers. The 30-year-old veteran signed a three-year, $21.75 million deal with the Panthers last offseason but missed the final eight games last year due to a serious post-traumatic amnesia concussion. There were questions as to whether Hurst would even continue his career, but he's apparently recovered and plans to continue playing in 2024. Veteran Gerald Everett is no longer in LA, but they still have Donald Parham Jr. and recently signed Will Dissly to the TE room, so Hurst would be battling for playing time with those two if he were to sign with the Chargers. Hurst, a former first-rounder (25th overall) in 2018, caught just 18 passes for 184 yards and one touchdown in Carolina last year.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Tre' McKitty has been waived by the team on Tuesday. The Chargers drafted McKitty in the third round of the 2021 draft out of Georgia but he was never able to make much of an impact in Los Angeles. He is young enough and has the draft pedigree to latch on somewhere else, so all is not lost for the third-year tight end. It will continue to be Gerald Everett (hip) and Donald Parham Jr. operating as the main tight ends for the Chargers.
