Antonio Gates' legendary run with the Los Angeles Chargers may not be done just yet, as the tight end's agent, Tom Condon, told Alex Marvez of Sirius XM that he's actively negotiating a deal with team executive Ed McGuire.

The three-time All-Pro spent 15 seasons with the club before parting ways in April with Hunter Henry poised to takeover as the lead tight end. However, Henry suffered a torn ACL during organized team activities in May, leaving the door open for a potential return.

The 38-year-old caught 30 balls for 316 yards and three touchdowns last season. He currently sits sixth in career touchdown catches and 20th in total receptions all time.
