The San Diego Chargers agreed to a one-year deal with right tackle Joe Barksdale.

Barksdale, 27, has started 29 games over the past two seasons for the St. Louis Rams, but was not re-signed after the team used a second-round pick on Wisconsin’s Rob Havenstein.

In San Diego, Barksdale provides depth, and a starting option should the Chargers ultimately slide D.J. Fluker inside to guard.

The Chargers waived tackle Bryce Quigley to clear a roster spot.
