Quarterback Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers agreed to his fully guaranteed four-year rookie deal worth nearly $26.6 million on Saturday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
The Oregon product is taking over an offense featuring promising weapons, including tailback Austin Ekeler, tight end Hunter Henry and wideouts Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.
While the team will have to fight through an AFC West with the reigning Super Bowl champs in Kansas City, its future hasn't been as promising since well before it left San Diego.
NFL analyst Lance Zierlein compared Herbert to Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz before the draft, noting he can spray the ball all around the field whether in the pocket or on the run.
