The San Diego Chargers continued their rebuilding process Monday by signing U.S. Football League running star Gary Anderson to a series of four one-year pacts.

Anderson, one of the USFL's brightest stars, was reluctantly released by USFL Commissioner Harry Usher from his Tampa Bay Bandits contract and allowed to seek employment in the National Football League.Terms of the Anderson deal were not released. He might see limited action Sunday in Seattle.

"He's the one we wanted," said Chargers Don Coryell, who has enjoyed great success this year raiding the talent of the younger league. "He will fit into our offense and do the things we want to do."

Anderson joins former USFL stars Trumaine Johnson and fullback Tim Spencer, who came to the Chargers this year.
