Los Angeles Chargers star Justin Herbert could land a record-breaking contract in the near future, as talks over a new deal have already begun.
The money within sport continues to rise globally, and it's not surprising that with each year financial records are being broken with bigger and better contracts. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes set a new sporting first when signing a decade-long £405million ($500m) deal, and both DeShaun Watson and Aaron Rodgers have since secured higher yearly salaries.
The next wave of quarterback talent is upon us, with Herbert and Joe Burrow the next in line to secure ground-breaking deals in the NFL. Herbert is ahead of Burrow in contract talks, and it's 'expected' that his Chargers extension could be the largest we've seen in the league.
