Charlie Kolar: Everything you need to know

Kolar agreed to a three-year, $24 million contract with the Chargers on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Once Kolar's deal is made official Wednesday at the start of the new league year, he will become the league's highest-paid blocking tight end, per Garafolo. The deal includes $17 million in guaranteed money. Perhaps the Chargers also see some untapped pass-catching potential in Kolar, who had just 30 catches across four regular seasons with the Ravens while being working behind Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.

Kolar finished the season with 10 catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets. It was a strong season from Kolar, who played in all 17 games for the first time in his career. His snap count jumped significantly, going from 230 to 402, and he posted career highs across the board in his receiving production. Though Kolar's 15 targets show that he's not necessarily a staple of the passing game, the Iowa State product has shown himself to be efficient with his opportunities throughout his career. Over four seasons (47 games), Kolar has caught 30 of 41 targets for 409 yards (9.97 YPT) and four touchdowns. Mark Andrews is set to stay in Baltimore for the long run, and now Baltimore must make a call on who to retain between Kolar and Isaiah Likely as both hit free agency this offseason.

Kolar (nose) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Kolar was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a nose injury, but the fourth-year tight end practiced without restriction Thursday and is on track to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Steelers. Kolar has caught 10 passes (on 15 targets) for 142 yards and two scores across 16 regular-season games while serving as the Ravens' TE3 behind Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.
