Los Angeles Chargers land center Corey Linsley with 5-year deal, source says

The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to a five-year contract with free agent center Corey Linsley, a source tells ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Linsley earned first-team All-Pro honors for this past season, becoming the first Green Bay Packers center to do so since Jim Ringo in 1963.

He started 13 games, missing three because of a knee injury, but returned in time for the playoffs. He helped the Packers tie for second in the NFL in fewest sacks allowed and was part of the top-scoring offense in the NFL.

The former fifth-round pick from Ohio State became an immediate starter as a rookie and has 99 regular-season season starts dating to the 2014 season.
