LOS ANGELES -- The Chargers are scheduled to open training camp next week and All Pro safety Derwin James is prepared to report regardless of whether he has a contract extension in hand.
"Oh yeah, I will definitely be there," James told ESPN on Friday after surprising students at Jordan High School in Watts with a renovated weight room, football helmets and visors as part of the Chargers Impact Fund.
The 17th overall pick in 2018, James is entering the fifth and final season of his rookie contract and is scheduled to earn $9 million.
