Chargers shared the five-year extension for its QB but did not share more specifics.

Justin is the 3^rd QB this season to sign an incredible extension after the Philadelphia Eagles. Jalen Hurts agreed on a 5-year, 255 million dollar extension, and the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson inked a 5-year, 260 million dollar extension.

Herbert became the highest-paid QB in the league’s history based on his yearly salary – almost 53 million dollars. The next blockbuster deal can be between the Bengals and Burrow.
