Well, the Bears sure could have used him yesterday.

& the Seahawks. Seabass pulled a hamstring trying to kick a 57 yarder right before the half.

Worst case he gets re-signed by CFL.
I didn't realize that those under contract by the CFL couldn't already pursue NFL teams.

Looks like he got signed by the Chargers.
Can’t wait to get to work! https://t.co/HCMocKrUjO

Do the Chargers need a kicker?
I haven't a clue.
Not even sure if the Chargers season is over yet but I'm thinking they might have lost this last weekend.
Very few positions for kickers.
Would he be a punter and/or kicker?
Seemed like he did everything up at BC.

Most teams have a punter and kicker. It’s highly unlikely he would do anything more than kickoffs and fgs/XP’s.

But they only designate one roster spot for each. If Ty can back up the other guy, then you won't have the problem the Seahawks did when Janikowski pulled a hamstring. They tried the punter in the role of FG kicker, but he was baaaad.
