The Los Angeles Chargers didn't use the franchise tag to retain tight end Hunter Henry, but they may have quarterback Justin Herbert to thank if he re-signs in free agency.
"My favorite quarterback? Shoot, I love Herbie. That's my guy...I'm not ruling out the Chargers. I'm not ruling out the Chargers, and I won't rule out the Chargers," Henry told TMZ Sports.
While Henry acknowledged the financial side of things will have a significant impact on his free-agency decision, it was equally clear he wants a quarterback he knows can get him the ball.
