The Chargers made their fair share of splashes in the early hours of free agency when they signed a pair of impact offensive lineman on top of re-signing their best young cornerback.
The five-year, $62.5 million deal given to Corey Linsley makes him the highest paid center in the NFL. He’s due $17 million in 2021 ($4 guaranteed salary, $13 million signing bonus) but his hit will drop to just $9 million in 2022.
The deal earned rave reviews from the folks at Pro Football Focus, earning a “very good” grade by authors Brad Spielberger and Ben Linsey.
