Chargers News: Insider Reveals Final Request for LA Before 2023 Season

We've all been waiting on it!

Justin Herbert is definitely not like other superstars in the league right now. In the 2023 offseason, we've really only seen his name in headlines for three reasons. The first is due to his recovery from his shoulder surgery that he underwent a couple of months ago, the second is whenever he decides to attend a fishing event and he did so with other NFL stars this year, and finally, the third has been whenever updates come for his looming extension.

No matter how much he says he is prioritizing his preparation for the season and ensuring that he is healthy, the man probably wants his money. The Los Angeles Chargers are very lucky to have a leader on their hands that is putting the team first but LA definitely needs to put together the contract soon and lock him up for the future.

By no means will he be requesting a trade anytime soon but the 2023 season will be one o the most important in franchise history. LA will need to bounce back from their failures in 2022 and prove that their star power can hang with the best in the league.

ESPN's own Field Yates broke down why the Bolts need to get his name on dotted lines already and says that it should be the final thing the front office before focusing solely on the new season.

"Reapply much of the aforementioned Burrow/Bengals logic to Herbert and the Chargers. Herbert's résumé through three seasons is fantastic, and both he and the team have not hid from the fact that an extension is the goal this offseason. Again, the numbers will be the most compelling part of this extension, and you can safely assume the average annual value will begin with a five ... as in $50 million-plus."

We cannot wait to see Herbert get his much-deserved contract!
