Chargers Sign Ex-Ravens Running Back Keaton Mitchell
Mitchell joins a Chargers backfield featuring Hampton and Vidal, signing a two-year, $9.25 million contract with $5 million guaranteed to boost depth.
- On Thursday, the Los Angeles Chargers signed former Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell to a two-year, $9.25 million contract with $5 million fully guaranteed, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
- Seeking to build the offense around quarterback Justin Herbert, the Chargers pursued players familiar with head coach Mike McDaniel, including fullback Alec Ingold signed last week.
- Mitchell, 24, brings explosive speed with analysts describing him as a "De Von Achane-equivalent" for the new scheme, having averaged 5.8 yards per attempt last season.
- The addition provides depth to a backfield featuring Omarion Hampton and Kimani Vidal, with Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz orchestrating the move after previously working with the Ravens.
- Paying well above Mitchell's projected market value of about $1.52 million per year, Los Angeles aims to maximize his potential as he transitions from underutilized backup to key contributor.
