Grade Los Angeles Chargers sign LS Josh Harris
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Harris replaces retiring Lovato as the Chargers' long snapper in a straightforward positional succession. Multiple outlets highlight Harris's tenure and special teams continuity rather than elite performance. Replacing a retired starter suggests Harris meets competency standards, though long snapper is fungible. Fans recognize this as necessary housekeeping that preserves team chemistry on special teams. Harris should provide stable, dependable snapping without dramatically impacting overall team performance going forward.
This signing grades out as a slight overpay for the Los Angeles Chargers — the team is getting approximately what they're paying for in on-field production. Josh's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL LSs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.8M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the LS market. The production lines up closely with the price tag — unproven production at bargain money, which is essentially paying fair market value. Josh is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
