The Los Angeles Chargers are looking to sign QB Justin Herbert to a long-term contract extension ASAP. And, according to General Manager Tom Telesco, he's earned it. (He has.)
"I don't have an update on it. There's a lot that will go into it, obviously, with these types of contracts and the amount of numbers that it's going to be. It's just a good problem to have to know you have a franchise quarterback that's now moving into a veteran franchise quarterback. There are a lot of good things that come with that... I know the numbers are going to be big."

The time has arrived. Baker Mayfield officially signed his contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday.
Mayfield signed a one-year, $8.5 million deal, with $4 million guaranteed. The rest I we assume will come in incentives, i.e. playing time. Mayfield will compete with Kyle Trask, and at this point, I think it's Mayfield's job to lose. This is a good opportunity for Mayfield to come in and prove it - he played well during a short stint with the Los Angeles Rams last season. Mayfield wanted a team that would put him in a good situation to win and thought Tampa was a good spot (maybe because of their god awful division). "It was important for me to be in a place that's stable and knows how to win, knows how to do it properly," he said in Monday's press conference. And for the Bucs - they're in a semi-rebuild mode after Brady announced his retirement (again) earlier this offseason. But don't call Mayfield 'Tom Brady' just yet. "Listen, I'm never going to be Tom Brady. There's a reason why he's won so many Super Bowls. He's the greatest of all time - there's no doubt about that. I'm not going to try to be Tom. I'm going to be me." more qb news:
Sam Darnold signed with the San Francisco 49ers this week, and we can't wait until he plays in next year's NFC Championship Game. Darnold will be the insurance policy for presumed starter Trey Lance as Brock Purdy recovers from UCL surgery.
Darnold said he's not concerned at the moment about who starts, but about how they work together. Aaaw. "I think those things that, with a good quarterback room, as long as we stick together, and we understand that we just got to work hard and continue to put the best foot forward for each other, and everything's going to work out. And I think at the end of the day, as long as we're winning games, that's the only thing that matters to me." more Qb news:

As expected, the Las Vegas Raiders informed Derek Carr of his release. As a result, Carr will get a head start in free agency and is expected to have a heavy market. Carr previously met with the New Orleans Saints and should visit with more teams before deciding. The Carolina Panthers, New York Jets, and Tennessee Titans are also expected to be interested in Carr. The move also frees up $29 million in cap space, which the Raiders may need to get a new quarterback.
