Los Angeles Chargers Sign Evan Svoboda as Undrafted Free Agent

The Los Angeles Chargers have signed Evan Svoboda, a tight end from the University of Wyoming, as an undrafted free agent. Svoboda, born on March 31, 2003, played his high school football at Red Mountain High School in Mesa, Arizona, and was a multi-sport athlete, earning a two-star recruiting status as a pro-style quarterback. He committed to Snow College for the 2021 season, where he was a backup, before transferring to the University of Wyoming for the 2022 season. In 2024, Svoboda got his shot as the starting quarterback, throwing for 1,318 yards, five touchdowns, and 8 interceptions, while rushing for 237 yards and five touchdowns. After transitioning to tight end in 2025, Svoboda was signed by the Los Angeles Chargers, who are looking to add depth to their offense under coach Mike McDaniel. Svoboda's athletic traits and experience at quarterback make him an intriguing addition to the team. With the Chargers' tight end room solidified from positions 1-3, Svoboda has a real chance to be the fourth option, but is more likely to see himself on the practice squad, continuing his tight end development. Svoboda signed a three-year, $3,113,000 contract with the Chargers on May 8, 2026, with $13,000 guaranteed. The signing of Svoboda is a low-risk, high-reward move for the Los Angeles Chargers, who are looking to build a stronger run game under Mike McDaniel. Svoboda's ability to make a difference in the run game and his immense athletic traits make him a valuable addition to the team. As the Los Angeles Chargers prepare for the 2026 season, the signing of Evan Svoboda is a move that could pay off in the long run.
