Herbert will starting his 4th year this year. Getting paid $4 mil. Chargers are in talks with Herbert to sign a long term deal. But if an agreement can’t be met or Herbert wants out , he won’t be an unrestricted free agent until 2028. Chargers can claim the 5th year option next year and then put the Franchise tag on him for an additional 3 years. So Herbert will be 30 years old by the time he is a free agent. Trapped.

TEE trapped in UO Ballwashing
The Chargers should draft Kinkaid if he’s available. He’s just as good as Kelce.
This has to ignore his initial signing bonus??
And if franchised tag doesnt a team have to pay “going rate” for a
starting QB? And that will be $25M plus no?

Wow my heart bleeds for him. How can anyone live on $4 million a year. And if he gets franchised he gets the average of the 5 highest paid quarterbacks . That would be around $45 million a year. If so he might have to get side gig to pay his rent. I thought slavery ended with the civil war I guess not
