Donald Parham Jr. Status
rotoWire
Parham and the Chargers agreed to a contract Friday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
What it means:
Parham will return to Los Angeles after testing the open market. The tight end has spent the first three seasons of his career with the team, reeling in 10 catches for 130 yards and a score over six games in 2022. Parham will provide quarterback Justin Herbert with another familiar target in 2023.

Parham is slated to become an unrestricted free agent on the start of the new league year Wednesday with the Chargers declining to offer him an RFA tender, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
Parham and Los Angeles weren't able to come to terms on a potential extension, giving the 25-year-old an opportunity to sign elsewhere. The 6-foot-8 tight end has developed into a solid No. 2 option, so he should have a fair market as a free agent. For the Chargers, meanwhile, the tight end position begins to look like a clear need if Parham indeed inks with another club.

The Chargers are not expected to tender Parham ahead of free agency, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
What it means:
Parham and Los Angeles reportedly had talks about a potential extension, but the two sides have been unable to agree to terms. That sets up the depth tight end, who appeared in just six games last season due to injuries, to search for a new role elsewhere. The 25-year-old shouldn't have much difficulty earning a reserve gig on the open market.

Parham caught 10 of his 12 targets for 130 yards and touchdown during the 2022-23 season.
What it means:
Parham appeared in just six games as he battled various injuries throughout the season. Despite the limited playing time, Parham was still the most productive tight end on the roster aside from Gerald Everett. A restricted free agent this offseason, it'll be interesting to see if the big-bodied target will be brought back.

Parham caught his only target for a three-yard touchdown in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Rams.
What it means:
Sunday marked the first touchdown for Parham this season. It's been a bit surprising to see the 6-foot-8 behemoth not used more in the red zone, but that's likely a credit to the sheer dominance of running back Austin Ekeler, who tallied another red-zone score in the aforementioned win. Parham once again saw 20-plus offensive snaps marking the third straight week the tight end saw a relevant role since his return from injured reserve.

Parham caught one of his two targets for eight yards in the 20-3 win over the Colts on Monday.
What it means:
Parham continues to be a target of the team's intermediate-to-deep passing attack as the big-bodied pass catcher had a 20-plus yard reception wiped out due to a holding penalty. Parham might not see many targets and doesn't see enough consistent playing time to warrant fantasy consideration, but it's clear the Chargers want to get him involved downfield for explosive plays
