The Chargers have signed 35-year old OT Tra Thomas to a 1-year deal.  Thomas is a huge man at 6’7″, 316 pounds and he might just have something left in the gas tank.  He played in 8 games (3 starts) for the Jaguars last season.  Thomas has now played in 174 games (168 starts) in his 12 years in the NFL.  He was signed to provide the Chargers insurance in case Marcus McNeil’s holdout spills into the regular season.

UPDATE:  (8/24/2010) – Tra Thomas has decided to retire from the NFL.
