It turns out 15 seasons in the NFL isn't enough for Antonio Gates, as the three-time All-Pro has decided he will return to the Los Angeles Chargers in 2018.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news Sunday.
Gates has carved out one of the best careers for any pass-catcher in NFL history. He ranks sixth all-time with 114 touchdown receptions, 21st in total receptions and 33rd in receiving yards. He played in eight consecutive Pro Bowls (2004 to 2011) and was a first-team All-Pro in three straight seasons (2004 to 2006).
