Herbert and James have been teammates for the past three years, they've been through all the ups and downs as teammates, and it's great to see him show his love and appreciation. 

Chargers insider Daniel Popper also informed us that the deal includes $218 million in total guarantees.

Hopefully, we will see James and Herbert terrorizing their opponents together on the same team for years to come. 

The 25-year-old deserves the money, and we can't wait to see him ball out this season. 

Congratulations, Justin!
