Released by the Carolina Panthers last week, center Bradley Bozeman has found his NFL team for 2024.

The Los Angeles Chargers signed the former Alabama standout on Monday, the NFL team announced. NFL Network reported Bozeman signed a one-year contract.

Bozeman will reunite with Greg Roman, the offensive coordinator during his first three seasons as an NFL starter. Roman holds that position with Los Angeles after formerly working in that capacity for the Baltimore Ravens.

Bozeman comes aboard with Chargers center Corey Linsley expected to retire because of a heart ailment that kept him sidelined for the final 14 games of the 2023 season. With Linsley out, Will Clapp started 11 games and Brenden Jaimes started three at center for Los Angeles. Clapp is an unrestricted free agent, and Jaimes remains on the Chargers’ roster.

Last offseason, Bozeman signed a three-year, $18 million contract extension with the Panthers that included $10 million in guaranteed money.

In 2023, Bozeman played all 1,149 of Carolina’s offensive snaps. But the Panthers produced the fewest yards and were tied for the fewest points in the NFL this season, and Carolina’s quarterbacks were sacked 65 times. Bozeman was released on Wednesday.

A former Handley High School standout, Bozeman served as Alabama’s starting center in the 2016 and 2017 seasons, capping his career in the Crimson Tide’s 26-23 overtime victory against Georgia in the CFP national championship game.

As an NFL rookie, Bozeman played 214 offensive snaps in 14 games with one start. For the next three seasons, he hardly came off the field for the Baltimore offense.

With Bozeman at left guard, the Ravens rushed for more than 3,000 yards in 2019 and 2020 seasons – two of the six times that has been accomplished in NFL history.

Bozeman shifted to center for Baltimore in 2021.

Bozeman joined the Panthers in 2022 as a free agent on one-year, $2.8 million contract after reaching the end of his four-year, $2.578 million rookie deal signed after the Ravens selected him in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Bozeman didn’t play an offensive snap in Carolina’s first six games of the 2022 season as Pat Elflein handled the work at center for the Panthers. Elflein’s season-ending hip injury opened a spot in the lineup for Bozeman, and he played every offensive snap in the Panthers’ final 11 games in 2022.

When Bozeman entered the lineup, Carolina had a 1-5 record and had just traded former All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers. The Panthers went 6-5 with Bozeman at center for the remainder of the season. After averaging 90.3 rushing yards per game without Bozeman, the Panthers averaged 151.6 with him.
