The Chargers signed outside linebacker Chris Collins on Tuesday, the team announced.

Allen signed a futures contract after the 2023 season.
Collins, an undrafted free agent, played 12 games at the University of Minnesota in 2023 after a five-year career at the University of North Carolina. In his college career, Collins appeared in 54 games and totaled 86 tackles, 6.5 sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and an interception.
He helped Minnesota win a bowl game last season and was part of a 2022 North Carolina team that posted a 9-5 record and appeared in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game after winning the conferences’ Coastal Division.
