The Los Angeles Chargers will sign running back Mitchell to a two-year, $9.25 million deal.
The new contract includes $5 million in fully guaranteed compensation, Pelissero adds. Mitchell hit the open market after the Baltimore Ravens chose not to tender him as a restricted free agent.
The 24-year-old had been with the Ravens since they signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2023. He flashed big-play potential during his rookie campaign but later suffered a season-ending knee injury, which also cut into his 2024 season.
