The Los Angeles Chargers are a professional American football team based in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

The Chargers compete in the National Football League as a member club of the American Football Conference West division.

Who is the highest-paid Los Angeles Chargers player in 2023?

The OTC numbers reflect all reported deals even if paperwork is not completely finalized with the league and/or the players’ association. The NFLPA numbers reflect all deals in which paperwork has been finalized and submitted to the players’ association.

The Chargers head into free agency clearing out some space with some contract restructurings.

Coming out of a season in which they finished 19th on offense and 16th on defense, the Bolts probably won’t be super active in free agency. Instead, many would argue head coach Brandon Staley needs to step things up as much as any talent does.

A source told ESPN that the deal is for four years and worth $76.4 million, with an average annual value of $19.13 million, making him the highest-paid safety in NFL history.

when the source asked James how are you feeling about the new deal, he replied I’m feeling amazing, talking with reporters for the first time since reporting to training camp more than three weeks ago. James said he never doubted a deal would get done.

All along, we were just very close, Chargers coach Brandon Staley said about negotiations. I think these contracts, when they’re so big, it’s just over little things. You just have to stay patient and positive with the process.
