Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is not a fan of being in the spotlight, but he had a chance to shine on Tuesday afternoon. He signed a massive $262.5 million contract extension that ties him to the team through 2029.
Herbert is the latest QB in the NFL to sign a mega five-year deal, and he is now among the highest-paid players in the league. That makes sense: Herbert has grown into one of the most talented passers in the NFL, even though the playoff success has eluded him in his three years since leaving the Oregon Ducks.
However, with Kellen Moore going to Los Angeles as the new offensive coordinator, there is a hope that situation will turn around. Regardless of the outcome, there was some celebration from Chargers, Ducks, and NFL fans at large on Tuesday as the contract news was announced. Here are some of the best reactions.
