The Los Angeles Chargers have made a significant announcement, signing a new contract with their game organizer - Justin Herbert. The agreement guarantees the organizer’s services for the team, and they are set to receive a substantial $262.5 million over the next five years.

With this lucrative deal, Chargers quarterback Herbert has joined the ranks of the highest-paid athletes in the league and U.S. professional sport. His contract surpasses the recent agreement signed by Lamar Jackson for the Baltimore team, which guaranteed him $260 million over five seasons. This is a testament to Herbert’s exceptional talent and immense potential in the sport.

At the young age of 25, Herbert has already made a name for himself in NFL history. He has achieved a remarkable feat of throwing over 4,000 yards and more than 25 touchdown passes in his first three seasons in the league, making him the first quarterback to do so. His exceptional performances on the field have earned him widespread praise and elevated him to an NFL star.

Herbert has accumulated impressive stats since joining the league. He ranks second in completions with a staggering 1,316 and third in receiving yards, totaling 1,316. His talent in the passing game is evident as he sits sixth in the league for touchdown passes, amassing an impressive total of 102.
