Former LSU WR Malachi Dupre signs with Los Angeles Chargers

Malachi Dupre is on the move again. It’s nothing new for the former LSU wide receiver. This weekend, Dupre signed with the Los Angeles Chargers. Entering just his third season, it will be Dupre’s sixth NFL team.

Dupre was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year deal with Green Bay after the draft, but was waived on Sept. 2, 2017. He then landed on the practice squad of the Buffalo Bills and was promoted to the team’s active roster on Dec. 26, 2017. He was released by the Bills on Sept. 1, 2018. Following his release, he had brief back-to-back stints on the practice squad with the Houston Texans. On Nov. 20, 2018, Dupre signed a practice squad deal with the Seattle Seahawks, but was released a week later. He was most recently with the Arizona Cardinals, first signing a practice squad deal (Dec. 5, 2018) and then being promoted to active roster (Dec. 28), but ultimately released on May 22, 2019.

Dupre’s only official NFL stat is his appearance in one game with the Cardinals.

We’ve signed WRs Malachi Dupre and Jordan Smallwood and waived/injured Dylan Cantrell and Fred Trevillion.
