Hand can earn up to $3.35 million on his new deal. The veteran lineman has spent the last two years with the Dolphins, making two starts in the 33 games he appeared in. During that time, Hand totaled 48 tackles, two sacks, and six TFLs while playing 432 of his 763 snaps on passing downs, per PFF. He’ll make for a solid depth signing for the Chargers, who continue to look for discount options to improve a defense that ranked first in points allowed last season.

Hand played in 16 games for the Dolphins last season and totaled 17 tackles and one sack. The sixth-year vet has started just 11 games in his career and played on only 294 defensive snaps over these last three seasons. Could have a chance to see more snaps this season with Christian Wilkins now gone and the Dolphins doing what they can to revamp their interior.

Hand has had a career mired by injuries but has been productive off the edge when healthy. He should challenge for rotational snaps in new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s aggressive defense.

Hand injured his quad in Week 1 against the Giants and will require season-ending surgery, according to the team. This is the second major injury for a Tennessee defensive lineman. The Titans could struggle to stop and run and put consistent pressure on opposing QBs with little depth on the defensive line.
