Chargers' Troy Dye: Moving to L.A.
The Los Angeles Chargers signed Troy Dye (wrist) to a one-year deal Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Dye has found a new home in Los Angeles after spending the first four years of his NFL career in Minnesota. According to Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the Vikings offered Dye more money than the Chargers, but Los Angeles sold the 27-year-old linebacker on "the chance to start." Dye has been a core special teamer for the Vikings over the past four seasons, recording 80 total tackles in 60 games, and he'll have the opportunity to compete for a large role with the Chargers this offseason.

Vikings' Troy Dye: Lands on IR with wrist injury
The Minnesota Vikings placed Troy Dye (wrist) on injured reserve Saturday.Dye is dealing with a wrist injury that will put an end to his regular season. The fourth-year linebacker began the campaign working almost exclusively on special teams before moving into a more prominent role after Jordan Hicks went on IR with a shin injury after Week 10. With Hicks now back in action, Dye's move to IR shouldn't have a big impact on Minnesota's defensive gameplan. Dye finishes the regular season with 17 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble. He isn't eligible to return unless the Vikings advance to the NFC Championship Game.
