The LA Chargers finally made Rashawn Slater the highest-paid tackle in NFL history with an extension that was months in the making. Slater is under contract for five more seasons, locking in one of the best tackle duos in the NFL for at least another four years.
Slater showed up to Chargers training camp did not go the holdout route that others in the past have done. However, days into camp Slater mysteriously stopped practicing with something that Jim Harbaugh said was injury related.
Chargers fans never got clarity on what kind of injury Slater was dealing with or how serious it was.
