Palm trees and fat checks … Justin’s got it made.
Superstar quarterback Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers have agreed on a massive five-year, $262.5 million contract extension, according to an official announcement from the franchise. The financial terms were reported by ESPN‘s Adam Schefter.
The news comes just a day before the Chargers begin training camp, and means that Los Angeles will keep their 25-year-old quarterback in Southern California through 2029. Herbert’s deal also features $133.7 million in guaranteed money, $193.7 million in injury guarantees and a no-trade clause.
Herbert is now the highest paid player in the NFL, with his $52.5 million salary being well over the second-place figure of $31.6 million — paid to Los Angeles Rams superstar defensive tackle Aaron Donald.
The quarterback has compiled a 25-24 record (and a playoff defeat) in three seasons with the Chargers. Passing for 14,089 yards, Herbert has the most for a quarterback in their first three seasons in the NFL, and on top of that, he has 1,316 completed passes — also the most in NFL history for a QB in their first three years. His Total QBR of 64 is also ranked No. 4 in the National Football League since his rookie campaign in 2020, ESPN reported.
In other words, my man deserves the payday.
What else are you going to do if you’re the Los Angeles Chargers?
Give that man his money! And that they did.
Much deserved, Justin. Congratulations!
25-24 without a playoff win is worth $262.5 million
No, #1 in yards , #1 in touchdowns, #1 in completions the first 3 years of his career is worth $262.5 million.

He just came up lame, it was hotter than hell here today. Hope our season isn’t on the brink already, damn.
I’m sure he’ll be promoting homosexual night at the ball park pretty soon and also diss Christians and white people....its part of the game....
they give Aaron Donald a big contract and he is not that good....the Rams superbowl was on the back of Kupp....but he’s not the right type apparently.
Oh no!
