COSTA MESA, Calif. — Tight end Antonio Gates will not return to the Los Angeles Chargers, ending the 15-year tenure of the most prolific pass-catcher in franchise history. “These decisions are really, really difficult.”Gates has caught 927 passes for 11,508 yards and 114 touchdowns — all Chargers records. Gates also ranks third in career receptions by a tight end behind Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten. Gates and Rivers have combined for 87 touchdown passes, another NFL record between a quarterback and a tight end. The Chargers also signed tight end Virgil Green as a free agent from Denver last month.
