Outside linebacker Bud Dupree, a free agent, has wrapped up his visit with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Dupree has reportedly been “talking” with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Atlanta Falcons, two teams he has previously played with, according to Schefter.
Dupree finished the previous season with the Atlanta Falcons with a total of 39 tackles (17 solo), eight tackles for loss (tied for second most on the team), and 6.5 sacks (tied for first on the team) in 16 games.
In addition, he contributed eight quarterback hits, two forced fumbles, and three pass deflections.
After six years in Pittsburgh, Dupree’s most productive year came in 2019 with a career-high 68 tackles, 49 solo stops, 16 tackles for loss, 17 quarterback hits, 4 forced fumbles, and 11.5 sacks. The Falcons could use his output and edge-setting ability in their outside linebacker rotation in his age-31 season.
