Ken Whisenhunt and Zach Mettenberger are back together again.

According to multiple reports, the Chargers claimed Mettenberger off of waivers on Tuesday, a day after the Titans parted ways with the 2014 sixth-round pick. Whisenhunt was heading into his first season as the head coach of the Titans when Tennessee made that pick and is now the offensive coordinator of the Chargers after getting fired by the Titans during the 2015 season.

San Diego re-signed Kellen Clemens to a one-year deal earlier this offseason, which put him in position to back up Philip Rivers for the third straight year. The other two quarterbacks on the roster on the moment are Bryn Renner and Mike Bercovici, although one could be leaving now that the team has another quarterback in the fold.

Mettenberger could push Clemens for the backup job over the next few months and familiarity with Whisenhunt probably wouldn’t hurt him if that’s the case.

Tennessee to San Diego, that's a nice transition.

B/c more than half of this board are LSU fans. It's always been like this. The Falcons board is probably like this with UGA players.

See the two other threads speculating him coming to the Saints. Speculation over. Now, all three threads can go away.

I hope it works for him. Remember, the Chargers signed Jarrett Lee as an undrafted free agent in 2012. Let's hope this LSU QB sticks.

You miiiight wanna check your math. He's only 24. He can play for another 14 years, so maybe he gets hurt one year? That's still a baker's dozen.
