Taking advantage of the new collective bargaining agreement and rookie wage scale, the San Diego Chargers came to terms with three of their draft picks today. Outside linebacker Melvin Ingram, defensive lineman Kendall Reyes, and center David Molk all agreed to deals and will not hold out this summer.
Ingram, who played defensive end at South Carolina, agreed to a four-year contract, and the Chargers will have the right to exercise an option for a fifth season. Reyes, who played defensive tackle at Connecticut, and Molk, who started 41 games at center for Michigan, both agreed to four-year deals.
At the very least, Ingram and Reyes are both expected to make immediate impacts during passing situations. Molk, meanwhile, will compete with Colin Baxter for the backup center job to longtime starter Nick Hardwick.
Now that Ingram, Reyes, and Molk are all set to report for work, San Diego has to reach deals with third-round pick Brandon Taylor, fourth-rounder Ladarius Green, fifth-rounder Johnnie Troutman, and Edwin Baker, their other seventh-round selection.
The Chargers will have a three-day rookie minicamp that will start this Friday.
