Garay, 33, only played in eight games, starting none, in 2012 with one sack and 16 tackles. In 2010 and 2011 he served as a starting defensive tackle for the Chargers putting together two fairly productive seasons. He is best known for his wild and colorful hairstyles seen on the Chargers' sideline. Garay was a sixth-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2003 out of Boston College, but played sparingly until his 2010 season in San Diego. Garay can serve as either a 3-4 defensive end or a defensive tackle.
The Chargers are already under the 2013 salary cap, but this gives them even more room to be a player in free agency under new general manager Tom Telesco.
