It didn't take wide receiver Dontrelle Inman to find a home after his release from the New England Patriots. The receiver is returning to the Chargers for his second stint in Los Angeles, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapaport.
Per Rapaport, the New York Jets also made an offer, but quarterback Philip Rivers played a part in getting him back wearing a Chargers jersey.
A reunion: Free agent WR Dontrelle Inman is signing back with the LA #Chargers, source said. They made an offer that stood as he took visits. The #Jets made an offer, too, but the pull QB Philip Rivers played a big part. So he’s back.
