A deal isn't signed yet, but Rashawn Slater and the Chargers took a step in the right direction.
Back in June's mandatory minicamp, there was a relatively positive feeling about the Chargers' extension talks with Rashawn Slater. The Pro Bowl LT practiced in full during minicamp after missing OTAs. Concerns about his absence at OTAs were quelled after he practiced last month. Asked why he participated despite an ongoing contract negotiation, Slater said this:
"It's my team. I'm in a contract. I don't want to miss any time," Slater said.
