Linebacker Squirek Signs With Chargers

Free-agent linebacker Jack Squirek was signed Monday by the Chargers, a club spokesman said.

Squirek, from Illinois, was drafted by the Los Angeles Raiders in the second round of the 1982 NFL draft.

Squirek, 6-feet 4-inches, 240 pounds, is best known for intercepting a Joe Theismann pass and returning it five yards for a touchdown in the Raiders’ 38-9 victory over Washington in Super Bowl XVII.

Squirek played two games for Miami last season after being released by the Raiders.
