SAN DIEGO (March 12, 2006) -- Free agent safety Marlon McCree agreed to a five-year deal with San Diego on March 11, an upgrade for the Chargers' light-hitting secondary.

McCree, who had been with the Carolina Panthers, was the first player to visit the Chargers after free agency opened March 11.

General manager A.J. Smith said the coaching staff will decide whether McCree will play free or strong safety.

"He's a terrific football player, very versatile," Smith said. "He's tough and competitive."

McCree had 88 tackles and three interceptions for Carolina last year. He spent the 2003-04 seasons with the Houston Texans after beginning his career in Jacksonville.

McCree has skipped around this league so it is nice to see him sign a long term contract.

dude hits hard and the chargers needed a guy like that at safety. I didn't even know he was a FA

yeah i didn't know he was on the market either, but looks like it paid off for him.

it just goes to show you that these nfl franchises have their agendas before FA starts and when it's time to go they go.
