Kolar signed a three-year, $24 million contract with the Chargers in March, making him the highest-paid blocking TE in NFL history. He had just 30 catches for 409 yards and four TDs in four years with the Ravens, though the 2022 fourth-round pick was rarely afforded opportunities to contribute as a receiver while working behind Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. Oronde Gadsden figures to get most of the pass-catching opportunities among the Chargers' TEs, and Kolar probably lacks the skills to step up in that department even if Gadsden were to get hurt. Kolar set career highs across the board in 2025 with a 10-142-2 line on 15 targets.
