COSTA MESA, Calif. -- A known fishing enthusiast, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will never need to worry again about budgeting for a boat, poles, tackle or bait.

Not after signing a five-year, $262.5 million contract extension that made him the highest-paid player in NFL history.

But Herbert said that was something he'd yet to account for only hours after signing the deal, which according to ESPN's Adam Schefter includes $133.7 million guaranteed and a no-trade clause.

"That's something to address at a later point," Herbert said with a smile on Wednesday.
