Troy Dye Fantasy Stats

Free-agent linebacker Troy Dye is signing back with the Los Angeles Chargers on a two-year deal worth up to $8.5 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 28-year-old was originally a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings out of Oregon and spent the first four seasons of his career there before one season with the Chargers. Last year, he racked up 57 tackles (34 solo), 1.5 sacks, and two run stuffs in 17 games (five starts). Dye will continue to provide depth for the Los Angeles defensive led by up-and-coming defensive coordinator Jesse Minter in 2025.

The Minnesota Vikings have selected Oregon linebacker Troy Dye with the No. 132 selection in the 2020 NFL Draft. Dye has been an impact player at Oregon for each of the last four seasons. He collected 84 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks through 13 games in 2019. He is great in zone coverage and has been looked upon as a coverage specialist. It's unclear where he'll fit in with the Vikings, but they will be sure to find playing time for Dye.
